Tuesday

After Guided reading and poetry centres, the grade twos finished typing the "story of my name" We will all glue our stories onto coloured paper tomorrow and you will be able to read these under our portraits at Parent Conferences on Thursday, November 22nd and Friday November 23rd. You can sign up starting this Saturday. 
If we were done, we practiced spelling the most used words from the Word Wall - we used white boards and markers and could do this with a buddy.

Grade ones printed the letter "J" and "j" today. 


Thanks to Green group who is helping with Blog this week - Georgia, Kipling, Anya, Colin and Abel. They are the busy group who helps with doorbell, key card, calendar, home reading and lunch bins and door holders!


Today in Math we did more patterns and we could have the choice of using lego, cubes, or letter tiles.
We tried to trick our partners by making something wrong in our pattern and seeing if our friend could spot it. Ask me what some of my patterns were!

After lunch we met all together in Room 2 (now Ms. Yoon's room) to discuss our next steps for our bug project. We will be creating a diorama for our arthropod first using paper to show our habitat. We are hoping to have a "Arthropod Fair" to display so all of the school and parents can come and hear what we've learned as Entomologists and experts on our bug. We will let you know when we have a date for this!

We had a fire drill today! It was chilly and a bit slippery, but Mrs. Polski reminded us we have to practice in all different kinds of weather. 

Today we had gym outside. It was like tennis but we used "wiffle balls" or balls with holes in them. It was tricky, but we are doing well! 

THURSDAY is FUN LUNCH and LIBRARY (and...Georgia's birthday:)

Coming up next month - DECEMBER 11TH is our TREAT DAY. So we need lots of volunteers to be thinking of some treats (nut free please) to sell at recess. The Clubhouse gets to keep the money we raise - so we will brainstorm what we would like. Thanks for planning for this next month!
