Monday

Today we started right in with our journal pictures or guided reading groups. Ask me when I go to guided reading - once we have another week of practice, I think we will all be in the right place at the right time!

Blue group is helping with blog, doorbell, door holding, calendar, lunch bin and key card this week. Thanks blue group!

Green group is helping with the home reading bins, floor and shelves.

Red group is cleaning desks this week.

Turquoise group is organizing pencil boxes and responsible for taking in the library bin on Thursday.

Ask me what my job is this week to help keep the Clubhouse tidy.

Mrs. Armour read a book today called, Julius; The Baby of the World by Kenvin Henkes. Ask me what it was about and what secret writing project we did....shhhhh.

In Math, we worked on a graph about temperature. The numbers on the side went up by 4's! So we counted by 4's using cubes. Ask me how far I can get counting by 4's? Try using tally marks, lego or stuffies to count by 4's to practice. (Note: we actually only have to learn how to count by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's - but this is a fun challenge).
This week we will be thinking up our own graph titles and categories and deciding which numbers for the side - will we count up by 1's, 2's, 5's? Then we will ask our friends if they can understand our graph. This will show how much we understand - when we make our own graphs!

Mrs. Armour read us some bug poems and then we shared 3 facts about our arthropods with as many different friends as we could before it was time for volleyball.

Volleyball outside - ask me to show you how to "SET to the sky!" and "BUMP below"

In Music, we are learning the song, Big Yellow Taxi, by Joni Mitchell for the CBC contest. Playing it at home and school will help me learn it well.

TOMORROW IS TREAT DAY! Bring a quarter (how many cents is that?) if you would like to by a treat at recess.

RUN CLUB will now be "weather permitting" so if it's not pouring rain, super cold or snowy....we will run on Wednesdays at 12:05-12-30 then eat together.

Conferences this week are ONLY FOR MRS. BOYER's ROOM 2 class as she will be going on Maternity Leave in a couple weeks. All other conferences are at the end of November (22/23). Sorry for any confusion.
