Just another manic monday...

Today after journals and writing about our weekends - we did a SPELL CHECK. This is so we can see which words we know well and which words we need to practice. Mrs. Armour gave us 16 today. Tomorrow we will write another 20 for the grade twos (grade ones can choose to challenge themselves or to practice with word wall and white boards). We will bring these home at the end of the week to share.

Today we talked about GROWING PATTERNS. Ask me how it is different than a regular pattern. We did one huge one as a class and then we wrote some in our math books and then we could create our own - check out our pictures!

After lunch some of us shared facts about our arthropod - we are practicing sharing this week so we can check to see if there are any "gaps" in our learning before we share with our Big Buddies. Ask me about my Habitat, Diet, Survival and Interesting Facts. Ask me about my life cycle and if I know how long my bug lives?

For gym we get to be on the TRAVERSE wall - Ask me some of the rules. Please make sure I have running shoes at school for the gym. Some of us had to watch today, because we need running shoes for the Traverse Wall. It is so fun to learn how to climb up a wall like Spider Man!

There is a "flu bug" going around, so please remind us to wash our hands well, drink lots of water, eat healthy and get a good night's sleep so we can all "fight the flu"

TOMORROW IS TREAT DAY - thanks for letting me bring a quarter to support Room 2!

WEDNESDAY IS SPIRIT DAY - it's "Mr. P" day(shhhhh) We are going to wear plaid shirts or something casual, carry our water bottles around and maybe make some beards. This is an optional fun activity.

THURSDAY is Library Day.
