This morning we didn't have guided reading or centers because Ms. Boyer and Mrs. Hamby wanted to show us the new centers we will be starting tomorrow. The new centers are all about the Acadians. We are sewing Acadian flags, building model lobster traps, and making maps of Acadia. These centers will take us a few weeks to complete and then we will get to bring our creations home.
After we learned about the new centers we had to get ready for our Clay for Kids glass art project that we will be doing tomorrow afternoon. We needed to decide what design we want to make and draw it on a small piece of paper so that we will be ready to make it out of glass tomorrow. Since our glass pieces will be going on the fence outside by the Whispering Woods our theme is nature. Some of us chose to make plants, some of us chose animals, and some of us chose other things from nature like rainbows, raindrops, and sunshines.
After recess we did word work and then our Treasure Math. Some of us are completely finished and have been promoted to the position of Vice-General! This means that we are able to give clues and helpful hints to people who are still working but we can't give them the answers and we can't certify their work.
After lunch we worked with Mrs. Hamby on our Nova Scotia research while Room 1 went with Ms. Boyer to watch the Acadian video. We are using books to find out facts about life in Nova Scotia. We have learned that some of the jobs in Nova Scotia are: fishing, logging, building, artistry, mining, and music. We have also learned that lots of people live in small towns and villages that are next to the ocean. Tomorrow we will have a little bit of time to finish our research and then we will be starting a project to show what we have learned. Stay tuned!
In gym we played games. First we played Squirrels in the Trees, and then we played Ups and Downs. Then we went to music. In music we did centers.
Tomorrow our helper is: Tessa
