This morning we started the day with our new centers. We didn't have very much time yesterday so today we returned to the same center to have some more time. At the end of center time a few people were ready to perform poems or share their bookmarks.
After that it was time to go to the learning commons for our author visit. The author's name was Alice Kuipers and she has written a lot of books for kids and young adults. She lives in Saskatoon but is originally from England. Today she talked to us about how she goes about writing a book and talked a bit about some of the books she has written. Here is the link to her website: http://www.alicekuipers.com/
After that we had a late recess and then we had a meeting with Mrs. Polski. Mrs. Polski has been getting worried that some of us are going to start losing things because it was getting a bit messy at our coat hooks. She talked to us about some strategies she would like us to use to help keep our coat hooks tidy and our things safe.
After lunch we had our computer time. We had another chance to try out the games at Math Playground. Then we played soccer for gym and had library. In library Mrs. Kidd told us that she might be holding a story writing contest soon! The winner of the contest will get a copy of one of Alice Kuipers books. She told us to stay tuned for more information coming soon! At the end of library Ms. Boyer showed us a new chapter book she bought that we will be reading as a read-aloud in our class. It is called The Wild Robot and is written by Peter Brown. Ms. Boyer read us the first chapter. Ask me what has happened so far.
Tomorrow is Fresh Air Friday. We will be doing an activity to help the birds get through this early winter we are experiencing.
