 Hello everyone!

We were so excited when we came into our classroom this morning to see that everyone's plants have started to grow! Each of us has at least 1 sprout that has reached the surface! We also got called right away to take our class picture. 

We started our morning by reviewing our Wow Words. We got our new Wow Words for this week, they are:

1. I'll (we discussed the apostrophe again and why it is in this word)

2. away

3. saw

4. some * (the o is not making its usual sound)

5. eat

For our bonus words we focused on the /ee/ sound of the vowel pair /ea/. Our bonus words are:

1. meat

2. seat

3. treat

4. peach

5. teach

We filled in our calendar and completed a Mystery Pattern activity. Then, we had literacy centres. During centres, Ms. Byrne will be working with each of us individually to read, assess our letter sounds, counting, etc. for the next little while. That will give her the best picture of what we are able to do, and what we can still work on for the last month of grade 1. 

After lunch, we completed our Numeracy Screening Assessment from the Alberta government. Then, we had some Mathletics time. We missed Mathletics time last week because of all our performances and rehearsals! During our Mathletics time, Ms. Byrne worked with some friends who had missed the first part of our Numeracy Screening Assessment last week. Now we're all done and can get back to our problem solving unit in math!

We ended our day with building time to finish off our perfect pets. They are all done and we get to bring them home today!

Reminders:

- Wednesday, June 1st - Teacher's Pet will be visiting our classroom

- Friday, June 3rd - Sport's Day

Have a great day!

-Ms. Byrne
