Dec 17 - Brainstorming Web

Today we learned how to using a web to reflect on our weekends before writing in our journals. This will help us add more details and organize our ideas better. Here is an example of the template we used and the ideas we came up with together in class today:

Then, we put the ideas together into full sentences:
Since this was the first day using this template, most of us only got one web and paragraph written. In the future, we hope to write about multiple activities or events from our weekends and holidays and organize them into separate paragraphs. For the upcoming holidays, it would be great practice to jot some notes down on these webs so we don't forget about all the fun stuff we got up to. Then we can write about them when we come back to school!

Here are a couple of reminders:
1. All families are invited to carolling, which will start tomorrow at 9:00am. Volunteers are welcome to join us in the singing, but if you prefer to come after, we will be done by 9:30am.

2. Special helper for Tuesday is Taylor. Please remember to bring your favorite stuffy, toy or action figure :)

3. For Spirit Day this Thursday, the theme is Polar Express - we are invited to wear our Christmas pajamas  or colors. There will also be a golden ticket draw for a prize on this day. Mrs. Yoon will be watching to see who is being kind and write the names of these students on the tickets to go into the draw. 

4. Fun Lunch food order deadline is Friday, Jan. 11, 2019 (orders for Panago Pizza can be made online at: www.healthyhunger.ca). Fun Lunch will be held on Thursday, Jan. 17, 2019.
