Wednesday

Today was "Hats On for Mental Health" Day - We discussed how it is important for us to eat healthy to keep our bodies strong and to think healthy to keep our minds strong. We have mini erasers with positive sayings on them here in the Clubhouse. We sat in a circle and read them out loud and thought about an example of what it would look like if we...

"Choose to smile"
Say "I am strong"
"Learn from my mistakes"
"Always are a friend"
"Choose to be happy"
"Choose to be the best we can be"
"Respect others"
"Choose to be kind"
"Believe in our dreams"
"Never stop learning"

Word Work - grade ones thought of "in" words (our favorites were Colin and Coffin:) How many can you think of? Grade twos tried to find as many "ing" words in their books and decide which rule of "ing" they followed.

Writing - In our All About Me books, we tried to remember when Dr. E.W. Coffin was first built (Do you know?) and added that into our books. Tomorrow we will learn the story of our mascot!

Math - Now that we have practiced a few math problems all together, today we had to solve a new math problem on our own - see pictures below!

Gym  - Today we had played Fruit Salad and King's Gold outside. We all tried to remember how to be a PACE player (Participate, Attitude, Cooperate, Effort) so everyone has fun!

Music today! Ask me what we are working on.

Animal Research - today if we were finished our research "must-haves" we were able to start to create our animals out of plasticine. We could look at our tear art animals on the walls or check an iPad so the colors are accurate.

This is the eBird website to go to and click "create account" Mrs. Boyer worked with all the grade ones and created their new password "coffin123" so hopefully everything works smoothly. We want to all be ready with our accounts for this Friday when CPAWS return and help us learn how to record our bird sightings!! THANKS FOR RETURNING THE BOTTOM OF THE FORM to Mrs. Armour.

Tomorrow the grade 3/4's are presenting their Learning Celebration at 11:00AM.

Looks like great weather for the next few days! Thanks for bringing water bottles and wearing layers so we can be comfortable!
