September 29

We had a great morning.  We continue to work on building our stamina during Daily 5.  We have added writing to our job choices and within a week or so we will add the final job of Word Work.  Last year's kids especially like word work as it often involves games.

During writer's workshop today we continued to work on using sentence starters.  Please remember to post your ideas on the blog so I can add them to our list.

This morning we also worked on a visual journal page with Mr. Soulliere's class.  We decorated the page with all the things we know about addition.

After lunch we did calendar activities.  Do you know how many days we have been at school so far?  This is question we keep track of using base 10 blocks on the smartboard.

After this we went to One World Drumming.  It was a surpasses to Mrs. Sloane so we had to move fast.  It was so much fun!  

Today in gym the kids said they had a lot of great exercise.  Sounds like they were moving a lot as I seen many red faces when I went to pick them up.

At the end of the day we talked about how to protect our senses.  We watched a quick video and then we worked in our visual journals.  We will finish this activity tomorrow.

Just a reminder that Friday is our Terry Fox run at 10:30.  Please be dressed for the weather and do not forget your water bottle.

Please post your answers to the question of the day: What does the term Friendly Facts mean in math?  Do you know your friendly facts?  Can you practice them with a family member?

Have a wonderful evening.
