Kids at Work!

Today was a just keep going sort of day. We are in the middle of projects in almost every subject so there isn't a lot of new stuff to share, but there is a lot of great work going on. In writing we are busy working on our family paragraphs. Those of us who have brought some notes from home are finding them very helpful as we construct our paragraphs. If you haven't done some home research yet, it is highly recommended! Remember, you might want to take notes about ideas like names, ages, favourite foods, hobbies, jobs, and sports your family members enjoy.

In math our pattern centers continued today. We had some more friends who were able to complete 5 or more patterns today. We are becoming more efficient with our work by recording our patterns as soon as we make them so that we can't forget our ideas!

This afternoon we worked on our animal clue projects. We have two teams finished! We are expecting the rest of the groups to be finished this week and should have the posters on display next week.

After that we had gym where we played beach volleyball! Then we went to music. We had a chance to experiment with lots of different instruments today. Mr. O'Reilly gave us time to see how many different tunes we could find and how many different instrument families we noticed. We noticed 5 different instrument families: woodwinds, percussion, brass, electronic, and strings.
