Room 2 was very festive in their attire today - great effort for Spirit Day!
Today was our last chance to prepare for tonight's festive evening, so all the grade 1s and 2s gathered together to practice Mr. Grinch. Then, we got started on writing our prairie poems, inspired by the book If You're not from the Prairie. We are learned about adding adjectives in front of our nouns to make our prairie poems sound more interesting and detailed. We also got to add our second layer to our ornaments. Next steps will be to add decorations and then Mod Podge. During computers, we experimented with Make a Flake and created different snowflake designs. This will help us when we make snowflakes during centers.
For gym, we got to apply our floor hockey skills by playing our first floor hockey game! We learned about cooperation and spreading out our players on defensive and offensive positions when playing in teams.
Finally, during our library time, Mrs. Kidd read us a holiday book, Auntie Claus. We will have to finish the rest of the book next week!
