September 23

Happy first day of Fall.  Do you know what time Fall arrived?  Post your answers on the blog.

We continue to work on our Daily 5 jobs.  We now have 3 jobs to choose from and tomorrow I will introduce writing as a choice.

We have a Mount Royal University volunteer, Ms. Dawes, who will be in our classroom every Wednesday morning. She will be working with individual students and small groups.

This morning during writing, we finished our Peace writing project before we headed off to music.

Today was FUN LUNCH!!!

After lunch we read a story about the first day of fall and then we worked on calendar activities.

After this we worked on math.  The grade ones continue to use the double ten frames to represent addition and the grade twos are working on representing double digit numbers in their math journals.  Any extra practice at home with these skills would be greatly appreciated.  Your child will be able to show you what we are doing at school.  Ten frames can be printed off of google images.

After math we had dance and then we played a senses games.  It is your child's job to play this game with their family over the next week or so.

At the end of the day we talked about Terry Fox and came up with some What if questions.

Also, student demographic and a Terry Fox fundraising sheet  have been sent home.

Question of the day?  Please post answers.
Do you think it is easier to hear with one or two ears?  Why do you think that?

We are having some issues in the classroom with our water bottles.  We have a spill every half hour or so.  If possible, please please send your child to school with a leak proof water bottle.

Have a wonderful evening!

    It's easier to hear with two ears because listening with one ear can trick you sometimes; it might sound quieter than it actually is.

  2. Fall arrived while I was sleeping. I think it is easier to hear with one ear but I have no idea why.

    It is easier to hear with two ears because you can hear better all around your head. If you only had one ear you couldn't hear well on the other side of your head.
