This morning we continued working on our centers. Some of us were able finish yesterday so we worked as helpers for friends who were having trouble with some of the tricky parts of these centers. After centers we went back to our story writing. We read a very old story called "The Happy Lion" and looked for all the parts of our story string in this story. We could see that even very old stories have all same story elements. Before we started our writing we also made a class chart to show how we were doing with our story writing. The chart has 3 columns. I'm Writing, I'm Planning, and I'm Stuck. This is a way for us to show Ms. Boyer where we are at and to let her know if we need help.  Ask me where I'm at on the chart.

In math we were excited to see that many of us have moved up two stations since the start of the week and we have many more jr. generals! We will be continuing this work for one more week.

After math we had our fun lunch. Thank you to the parents who volunteered today!

In the afternoon Ms. Boyer was at a system meeting so Mrs. Wilkens worked with us. We started to learn more about our diorama project. Mrs. Hamby showed us an example of a diorama that she has started and then we used our Nova Scotia research list to begin planning the pieces we want to include in our own diorama.  After this we had gym and then went to music. We are working on the songs that we will be singing in our assembly.

Tomorrow is Fresh Air Friday! We are planning to go on a neighborhood walk about about 10:30 (rain or shine!). If you are available to come join us please email. Ms. Boyer.
