This morning we had guided reading and worked on our journal pictures. Then we worked on our journal writing. Some of us were working on watching for uppercase letters where they don't belong.  Some of us were working on using our "5 W's" to add more details to our writing. After that is was time for recess.

After recess we did wordwork. The grade 1's focused on the -in word family. The grade 2's finished their practice with adding -ing to words. Then we had math. In math we had a new problem to solve. Today's problem was:

On the way to school I saw:

Three people on unicycles

Three people on bicycles

Two children on tricycles

Two people in their cars

1 person on a motorcycle

How many wheels did I see? 

How many legs did I see? 

This afternoon we worked on our dioramas. We made a list of the steps we need to follow for our diorama. Step 1 was: Complete the habitat. Include at least 5 different plants that we find on Nose Hill like trees, bushes, and flowers.  Step 2 was: Create your animal. Show the male, female, and a baby.
After each step we need to ask a friend to give us feedback on our work. Then we need to use their feedback to make our diorama better. After we make our work better we have to check in with Ms. Boyer before we can move on to the next step.

Then we went to gym. In gym we learned to play a game called Kings Gold. If the weather is nice tomorrow we will try playing it outside instead of in the gym.

Our helper tomorrow is: Cedar
