This morning we started with our usual routine of guided reading and centers. Now that we have had a few days of guided reading we are starting to get used to the schedule and things are going much more smoothly!

After guided reading we had a lot of sharing from centres! We had many people ready to share poems they had learned to perform, copied from our poetry books, or wrote themselves. It is great to see everyone working together and pushing themselves to try new things during these poetry centers!

Then it was time for writing. We worked to get our rough copies of our names project all finished so that we can get going on our good copy (written on fancy paper for grade 1, and typed in Google Docs for grade 2).

After recess Mrs. Yoon came in to work with us for math while Ms. Boyer had a meeting. We had another day of practicing interpreting graphs. We have really focused on trying to improve at questions such as "how many more?", "how many fewer?" and on improving our understanding of concepts such as increasing and decreasing.

This afternoon in computers the grade 1's went to abcya.com while the grade 2's got their Google Docs started for our names project.  After that we had gym, library, and music. Thursday afternoons just seem to fly by with all our different activities!

Today we are bringing home a blue card that contains our log-in information for the computers. On this card you will find our student information plus our log-in info for mathletics and Raz-kids.
