Evergreen Theatre Day 4

This morning following our guided reading time we started working on our good copies for our Whispering Woods writing. A few of us still had to finish up some ideas but most of us were able to start typing.  We are going to be creating artwork for each sense and using our typed ideas to create our own Whispering Woods books. Sadly, these won't be ready in time for our Parent-Teacher conferences next week but we will be happy to share our rough copies with you and we will bring the good copies home when they are finished.

After recess we had our Evergreen Theatre rehearsal. We practiced our lines and got to rehearse in the gym. After that Natalie showed us our costumes. We will each be wearing a special polar bear costume! To complete our costumes it would be helpful if everyone can wear white, gray, or light brown bottoms tomorrow.

Then it was time for fun lunch!!! Thank you to all the volunteers who came to help out today.

This afternoon Ms. Boyer started introducing our pattern check. This will be our final project to show Ms. Boyer how much we have learned about making patterns. We talked about the idea that this will be important evidence for Ms. Boyer to use when she is writing our report cards so it is important that we push ourselves to make our most interesting patterns for each category. Here are the patterns we will need to show:

-  A repeating colour pattern with 4 colours.
-  The same pattern two different ways.
 A movement pattern with at least 3 elements.
-  An increasing pattern using sound.
-  A time pattern.
-  A number pattern.

Please remember that our Evergreen Theatre Show will start tomorrow morning at 11:15. Parents are invited to attend the show! (We will also be having a dress rehearsal at 9:00 so please make sure you are on-time for school tomorrow). 

Our helper on Monday is: Ashton
