 hi all,

Today we practiced writing off of a picture prompt. We brainstormed a list of words we might use and tried to put them together in our own sentences. We had music with Mr. Wiens then we learned how to tell if a number is odd or even. 

This afternoon we went on mathletics for the first time and also practiced our scientific observation skills. We went outside and took one thing from nature and then practised drawing it as accurately as we could and then made some observations. We ended our day practicing soccer dribbling in the gym and reading some more Charlotte's Web.

Tomorrow is meet the teacher night. Please sign up for a session on mycbe so you can get the link for the live presentation.  

No school Friday for a teacher PD day. 

Tuesday Sept 21

 Hi all,

Today we read a story called Welcome Home Bear and talked about what makes our homes so special. We wrote about it in our journals. We looked over some patterns and found some fakers. We also had our first fire drill today. It went really well. We were quiet and got our quickly and safely. 

After lunch we did some mindfulness and then talked about Wilbur, the pig from Charlotte's Web. We did a text to self reflection and thought about a time that we felt lonely or bored. We also designed some pretty sweet pig traps to keep Wilbur from escaping. We ended our day with gym, looking at what kinds of scientists there are and then reading another chapter of Charlotte's Web.

Meet the teacher is Thursday night - please sign up for the link to join the virtual meeting.

 Hi all,

Today we read for 14 minutes after calendar! We wrote all about our weekends with the focus of using capital letters and periods in our writing. We did number of the day and started talking about patterns. We talked about what a pattern is and then went on a pattern hunt around our classroom. We found lots. 

After lunch we did mindfulness and then did some work on the first two chapters of Charlottes web. We talked about our community and what we have in Beddington. We ended our day with gym, practicing for Terry Fox, and then reading the next chapter of Charlotte's Web.

 Hi all,

Today we read for 12 minutes as we keep building our stamina up to 20 minutes of quiet reading. We played a new word work game called big word where there is a jumbled up word and you need to find as many words as you can using those letters. We had music with Mr. Wiens and then did the last of the math tests for the government. 

This afternoon we talked about what is tattling and when it is important to tell a teacher. We read the book ish and made some ish art. We also started building our running stamina for Terry Fox which is coming up on Sept 28th.

Wednesday Sept 15

 Hi all

Today we did quiet reading and calendar before we watched the story Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, a story about a little mouse who makes a mistake and has to make up for it. It went in to our health folders as a lesson about respect. After recess we did two more math assessments - subtraction and writing numbers as we hear them.

This afternoon we talked about different strategies you can use if you are low energy or high energy. We had gym with Ms. Sterne and also made an art piece using only lines and colours. My example is here and we all followed the same instructions but the point was they all looked different as two painters can look at the same scene and create two different pieces. 

Tuesday Sept 14th

 Hi all,

Today we read for 10 minutes in quiet reading. We went through our dictionaries to make sure we know where to find all the colour words. We did 2 more math assessments, adding single digit numbers, and checking if number sequences were increasing or not. We even had time for a math game afterwards! 

This afternoon we finished the movie inside out and made our own Islands of personality pages. In the movie it explains that they are "what make Riley, Riley" so we thought about what makes us unique and special and made our own. We had gym inside and practiced hand eye coordination with scoops and balls. 

Please remember to return the grey technology usage forms as soon as you can. 

Have a great night!
