This morning the Simon Fraser band came to perform. They played 3 songs. One was Pirates of the Caribbean, A Scary Song, and Lord of the Rings. In between the songs they also showed us the different instruments and played some little tunes to show us how each instrument sounded. An exciting part was when the conductor invited Max to come up and conduct for her during the Pirates of the Caribbean song!
Then we worked on our journals.
After recess we finished our 100 word spelling test. Since the test is very long the grade 1's had the option of doing silent reading instead of doing the test today. The grade 2's didn't have a choice and had to complete all 100 words. Then we worked on a new art project. It is called Picasso Portraits. We are going to use them as the covers for our paper bag books. We tried to make the two sides of our portrait different so that they were not symmetrical. We did the pencil part today and we will add the colour tomorrow.
This afternoon we worked on our animal research. We are planning to have the research done by the end of this week so we can start working on our dioramas next week. If you haven't brought a shoebox yet, please try to bring one soon.
After that we had gym and finish up time. Most of us were able to finish our journals this morning and earned free choice!
Our helper tomorrow is: Taylor
