This morning after centres we had a special visit by a real author - Alice Kuipers! She told us about how she much she loves reading and writing and how long it takes to write just one story. She has written a lot of books and some of them are picture books - she read from her newest one called Polly Diamond and the Magic Book - here is her website if you want more details. 

Ask me about what I remember about the author visit.

This afternoon we changed our "quiet desk books" for next week's reading and then we went to Library - it's always fun to look for new books or check out our favorites.a

After library we worked on adding details to our "macro diagram" of our arthropod - ask me what realistic colours I used on my bug!

Thanks to Green group this week for helping with door holding, calendar, door bell lunch bin and library books!

Mrs. Armour will be reading some books all about NAMES because we will be working on our "name stories" and "bead names" next week. 

Today she read an old funny story called, Tikki Tikki Tembo retold by Arlene Mosel - 

Ask me about the 2 boys and their names.

Mrs. Armour gave us all little doodle books so we ended the day by watching a little video of how you can create pictures out of names and numbers.

Reminder to order Fun Lunch by midnight tonight if you want to have Subway on
