This morning we started by journaling about yesterday's field trip. We tried to include as many details about the trip as we could and we also tried to include the things we learned from the hike, the stations, and our guide Marc.

After recess the grade 1's did wordwork while the grade 2's did solo book time. In word work the grade 1's practiced the -ig word family and four sight words: at, be, this, have. On our big spelling test this and have were tricky words for many grade 1's.

Then it was time for math. We are working on word problems. Today we started with a warm up problem that we did together. Ms. Boyer demonstrated drawing a picture for the problem that would be the most helpful for figuring out the answer. Ask me how Ms. Boyer's picture was different from a picture we might draw in art. After we solved the warm up problem we worked with a buddy to solve our own problem. The problem we had to solve was about the animals we saw at the bird sanctuary and how many feet we say in total. We will spend time finishing the problem tomorrow and then we will share it with you.

This afternoon we worked on our animal research and dioramas. Then we had gym outside. We played hula hoop tag. After that we went to music. We are busy getting ready for our performance at the volunteer tea!

Tomorrow we will be having an Earth Day assembly lead by our Green Team and Destination Conservation. At the assembly we will also be finding out about our school's solar project! Parents are welcome to attend. 

Our helper tomorrow is: Ashton
