Monday - writers and builders!

This morning we practiced being "literary critics" reading our friends stories and giving them specific ways of making it better ("I liked how descriptive the beginning was, maybe you can add more detail to the ending.")
After recess Mrs. Armour read another Jan Brett book, Fritz and the Beautiful Horses, Ask me what it was about, the problem and the conclusion.
In Math groups, some of us learned about "fact families" Ask me what I did in math today!

After lunch we discussed frames and supporting beams. We all made frames with supporting beams and then worked as a group to make a cube. This will be the structure of our building. We will be adding walls and windows in the next couple of days!

We had gym with Room 1/2 outside today, it was fun!

We had a special "bench dedication" ceremony to honor Ms. Kestner. She was a teacher here at Dr. Coffin a few years ago, who died of cancer. Her family and some friends joined the whole school to say a few things in her honor. We added some chalk drawings to make it pretty on the courtyard.

Today was Max's last day as he is off on summer holidays a little early. Have a great summer!!

Tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday are swimming days! Thanks for packing a little extra as we all get pretty hungry after our swim and walk.Thanks again to our volunteers that help us in the change room and walk to and from school.

Tomorrow TUESDAY is treat day. Thank you to the Environment Committee who will be selling BANANA BREAD for 50c Prairie Mills Bakery is supplying the banana bread so we know it will be yummy!

Wednesday is Transition Day. The Kindergartens will come for a bit to see what grade one is like, and the grade twos will go to Room 3/4 see what grade three is like.

Friday is SPORTS DAY. If you would like to volunteer for the morning to run a station, please let Mrs. Armour know.
