After that we had library and then we had a little bit of time to work on our All About Me writing. Our goal is to have this page all finished tomorrow so that we can move on to the next part of this work next week.
After recess we continued with our big spelling test. Today we finished the first 50 words! Then we did math. Now that we are finished our mathlympics and have done so much good practice with our counting patterns we are doing a "show what you know" activity to see what we are able to do all by ourselves. So far Ms. Boyer has been really impressed with our counting patterns!
This afternoon we worked on animal research. Before we got to work we each went with a buddy to share the work we have done on our diet page. We needed to prove to our buddy that we had really completed all the "must haves" for that page. If we discovered something was missing we had to fix that first before we went on to our other sections. The last step before we got to work was we had to make a plan and tell our buddy what we would finish today. Then we went to work. At the end of our work time we got back together with our buddy and showed them what we had finished share our work so far.
Then it was time for gym. We played relay games again. One of the relays included lots of crabwalk. Our arms got really tired!
At the end of the day we said goodbye to our student teacher, Ms. Douglas. Today was her last official day working in our classroom. She will be going back to Mount Royal to write her exams and finish up all her assignments. She said she would like to come back and visit us again and may even come to volunteer on some of our Fresh Air Fridays!
Our helper tomorrow is: Leander
