Happy Easter to those families that celebrated this weekend.
Today we started with journals. Many of us had exciting weekends with our families and had great things to write about. The grade 1's are working to incorporate our "No Excuses" spelling words into our writing more consistently while the grade 2's are continuing to work on their paragraphs.
After recess we had word work. The grade 1's are working on some new sight words: When, said, your, plus words in the -op family. The grade 2's continued their study of contractions. After word work we moved on to our Treasure Math. We started by doing a survey to see which stations were still being used and to see how many people are still at each station. We have discovered that station 4 seems to be the most challenging because it is the longest centre and involves lots of different counting patterns.
This afternoon we started by practicing some of the songs we will be singing for our assembly in May. Then we had a bit of time to finish our research about Nova Scotia and the Acadians. Next week we will begin making dioramas to show our learning. Each student will need to bring a shoebox from home. If you cannot find a shoe box please send Ms. Boyer an email so she can find one for you. After our research time we had a little bit more time to work on our journals and then we went to gym. In gym we did a movement game to music and then we played a game called The Coconut Tree. Then it was time for music. We worked on one of our assembly songs with Ms. Stephure. Our songs have quite a lot of words so we are going to be working very hard to learn them!
Please remember that tomorrow is our library day. All books should be returned or brought back for renewal if you need to borrow them for another week.
Our helper tomorrow is: Isla
