In word work the grade 1's practiced this week's words by writing them each three times in neat lowercase printing. The grade 2's started learning about homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. Today we talked about the to, too, two homophones and practiced using them. Ask me to explain when we use the these homophones.
This afternoon we started our animal research study. Today we each got a list of animals that live on Nose Hill and we started looking up each animal on google images with a partner. We are doing this so that we can make a short-list for ourselves. Eventually we will be narrowing down to one animal that we would like to become an expert about. As we look at the different animals we are putting a star beside the ones we think might be interesting to research.
Home Reading News: Starting next week we will be expanding the home reading schedule to include Mondays! A few of our volunteers from the community will be taking the Monday spots, but this means there will be some spots opening up on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If you are interested in volunteering please check the home reading calendar.
