Our first star student of the year was Eric!
He did an amazing job sharing his poster, family letter, Sharing Sack and reading his shark book. We learned a lot about this future farmer!
This week on Friday we reached our stamina goal of ten minutes for independent Read To Self. We were all very proud of our accomplishment. We can see already we are becoming better readers.
We introduced a new Daily 5 choice to help us become better writers.
Another Daily 5 choice we learned about what Word Work to help us become better spellers.
Here we are doing our Word Work.
We are currently working on increasing our stamina for independent Word Work. We are at eight minutes and our goal is ten minutes.
We also worked on a new reading strategy called Back Up and Reread. This strategy helps to ensure we are understanding what we are reading by stopping when we read a word that doesn't sound right. We practiced this strategy as I read this book about even numbers.
In science we continued to learn about liquids by mixing different liquids and observing what happened.
In math we celebrated our knowledge of patterns with some math centres.
In religion this week we read and talked about friendship and our special friendship with Jesus.
Please be aware that our monthly calendar is available at the start of each month on our classroom page through the school website.
The Welcome Back breakfast was a huge success. Thank you to the many volunteers who made this happen.
A huge thank you to all our parents who have generously volunteered their time in our classroom. We are very blessed to have you help us grow our brains!
Don't forget that Monday is Picture Day! Bring your smile!
Blessings,
