Nov. 22

 Hello everyone!

We started our day by doing some quiet reading and changing out our books in our book boxes. We had our morning meeting where we talked about the learning goals we have been setting and how Ms. Byrne is going to share them with you during Parent Teacher Conversations this week. We've had lots of parents signing up already!

We filled in our calendar and played a game of Splat to practice our adding and subtracting. Ask us how to play Splat! Mr. Wiens came to teach music and took a video of us singing our Highway of Heroes song to post on his blog for you to see (don't worry, if you checked "no" on our media consent forms, or if we had not received them yet, we sang from the side so that our faces were not in the video!). 

We interviewed our Star Student - Nola. We took a break to have snack before filling in our star student page with facts about Nola. Everyone tried to write 2 sentences today, and some of us even created our own sentences about Nola! 

We got to read the final chapter of our My Weird School book before lunch. We have the second book in the series ready to go for tomorrow!

After lunch we had mindfulness time, and then went over our letter sounds. We practiced the word ladder game that Ms. Byrne taught us last week. We started at the word "win" and ended up with "panda"!

During math we focused on the number 11 and completed a page about 11 in our printing books. We showed 11 in ten frames, and then chose another way to show it. 

After our second recess we watched a quick video that showed us how sound moves through the different parts of our ear to send messages to our brain. We filled in our 5 sense book page about our sense of hearing and drew pictures of different things we could hear.

We got to have centre time in the gym. That means that the different activities we have been practicing are set out into 4 different corners of the gym and we take turns playing at each centre with our group. We are practicing moving safely on the scooters, throwing, catching, and racket skills in our centres.
