This morning we started with centers and guided reading. We also had home reading. Most of us remembered our books so we will come home with a new book today! After that we continued working on our Whispering Woods writing. We tried to finish our "I See..." ideas.
In wordwork the grade 1's practiced hearing the difference between the "ig" and "og" word families. The grade 2's worked on rules for short 'a' and long 'a' vowel sounds.
In math we put our leaf attribute books together. Tomorrow we will finish the covers and then we will bring them home.
This afternoon we kept working on our Churchill, Manitoba picture. Most of us are finished but a few of us need some more time. We will keep working tomorrow. Once our practice drawings are finished we will make water colour postcards to show the landscape in Churchill. After that we had library. Most of us remembered to return our books!
In gym we played with the hula hoops. We practiced rolling the hoops without letting them fall over. Then we practiced passing the hoops to a partner. Then we learned a trick about how to throw the hula hoop and get it to come back to you.
Tomorrow we will have a guest author visiting our school. His name is Marty Chan. Following his presentation he will have some books available for purchase for between $5-10. Please check his website for more information about his books.
