Journal Target Review

We started our morning on journals. Before we started our writing we reviewed our writing target. Because we are half-way through the year we talked about being able to meet the criteria of the middle ring of the target. Some of us are also working on pieces in the center part of the target with is a great bonus!



After recess we finished up our journals and then we did computers. We worked on Mathletics. If you were done the number section you were allowed to go to Mathletics Live.

This afternoon in science we worked on our arctic buddy plans. We were finishing our plans so that we can start building tomorrow. In order to have our plans approved for building we had to show a detailed picture of the layers with labels plus a list fasteners we plan to use to attach everything together.

After science we went to gym. We had gymnastics. Before we started we talked about the mats we use for our stations. We talked about how mats are designed for comfort, but not for safety. It is up to us to keep our bodies safe by thinking through our moves before we do them to make sure they will be safe.  Then we did some journal sharing. We did a different game for our sharing today. The game was Skill Testing Question. This meant that after each journal was shared Ms. Boyer would ask a question about the journal entry. The person who could answer the question correctly got to share next.

Today was also Bilal's birthday. Happy Birthday Bilal!

We have a new helper sharing category. The category is favourite book. If your favourite book is a picture book Ms. Boyer will try to read it to the class on your sharing day. If your book is a chapter book you will just share a summary of the book with the class.

Our helper tomorrow is: Dominic
