We started the day with centers and then we read a perfect story for today called Pyjama Day! by Robert Munsch. Our stuffies were allowed to join us at the carpet but only if they could be good listeners and didn't distract anyone. Most of the stuffies were very well behaved.
After the story we worked on our Buck Brush page. We are still working to finish writing all our facts. A few of us are finished writing the facts we learned as a class and have started doing some of our own research. Dhvani discovered that Buck Brush was used by the Blackfoot to make the shafts for their arrows.
After recess the grade 2's did some more practice with days of the week and months of the year and the grade 1's did printing (today's letter was I). Then we had our last math time to work on our shapes projects. Here are some photos of our work. Please notice how hard we are working to make our projects detailed and realistic. Please notice how many different types of 3D shapes we have used so that we can get to the center of the target!
After lunch we worked on our leaf study. Some of us were able to finish all of our sketches and labels today! Next week we will have one more day so that the rest of us can finish.
Then it was time for gym. We played with the scoops and balls and also played a special Pyjama Day tag game. By the time we were finished we were all tired and some of us were feeling sleepy because we were in our pyjamas. So we had to have a nap!!!
After our nap we went to music with Mr. O'Reilly. We are practicing our Fool song and today we practiced on our different instruments. Leander is playing drum, Senna is singing, and Liam and Addison are both playing xylophones. Everyone in our class plays an instrument or is a singer except for Shawn and Abdul Ahad are the camera and microphone people.
Tomorrow is Fresh Air Friday. We are going to Nose Hill. Please dress in layers so you are ready for all types of possible weather. Please bring a snack and a small water bottle that you can carry in your backpack. Please leave any extra things at home so you don't have a super heavy backpack to haul up Nose Hill.
