This morning we started with solo booktime. We made a goal to be able to read for 20 minutes without stopping. We have been working our way up to this goal and today was our first day trying for the whole 20 minutes. Ms. Boyer had to give a few of us reminders to keep reading, but overall it went really well. We will try again tomorrow. In the summer it is a great idea to try to read for at least a few minutes every day to keep up (or even improve) our reading skills for next year.
After reading we worked on our stories. Most of us are working on finishing up our events, big finale, and the wrap up. A few of us have finished writing and have chosen to type our stories. Our goal is to have our stories finished this week so we can bring them home to share with you.
In math we worked in our groups. By now all of our grade 1's can add and subtract numbers up to 18 using different strategies and some can add 2-digit numbers. If your child is in grade 2, they are now able to add and subtract 2-digit numbers without regrouping. Please ask your child to demonstrate their growing math skills for you!
This afternoon we had a little bit of time to work on our Calgary buildings and then it was time for swimming.
Our helpers tomorrow are: Jasper and Joachim
Sports Day is on Friday. If you would like to volunteer, please email Ms. Boyer
