Today was our first day of caroling and also festive hat day. Lots of us had special hats to wear today. Some were store bought and some were home made. For caroling Mr. O'Reilly had lots of songs ready for us to sing and Ms. Boyer helped him out. Ms. Boyer says our school sounded even better than last year! Ms. Boyer thinks all our new students must be helping us out. We sang six white boomers, frosty the snowman, and I want a hippopotamus for Christmas.
Tomorrow we will have another day of caroling. The theme for tomorrow is "Dress Like an Elf", or, wear red and green day.
After caroling we worked on our poetry project. Ms. Boyer showed us how the poem will fit with our tree project to make a really beautiful piece of art. We are excited to finish them up tomorrow and bring them home!
After recess the grade 1's spent a bit of extra time on their poems and then continued their graphing work with Mrs. Hamby. The grade 2's went to the learning commons to finish their graphing projects. When the grade 2's were finished they got to play Mathletics.
This afternoon we read a story and then we worked to finish up our trees and our poems. Tomorrow we will put the whole project together.
Then it was time for gym. Mr. O was here today for Mrs. Hamby so he took us for gym while Mrs. Hamby's class was in music. We played ringette. After that we had music. We did some writing about our favourite instruments. At the end of the class Mr. O'Reilly gave us a special gift. We could either choose a book mark or two erasers.
Tomorrow our helper is: Ashton
