I hope everyone had a relaxing long weekend! Back to the grind for another short week!

Morning Routine

Math Centres – We learned two new math centres, Roll It! and Bridging, and practiced playing them.

Recess

Daily 5 – We discussed what Read to Self looks like and practiced. We were able to Read to Self for 10 minutes today! So proud! 10 minutes is a great starting point, and we are excited to begin to build our reading stamina. The class set a goal of 30 minutes by the end of the month.

Lunch

Phys. Ed – We reviewed Phys. Ed. routines, played “Everyone’s It” Tag, and had magic carpet relays.

Special Activity – In groups the students filmed “application” videos explaining which helper job they would like. Once assigned, these jobs will be kept until Christmas. These videos will be posted onto Seesaw (e-portfolio we will be using this year). I am working on adding all parents into Seesaw so that you are able to view and comment on your child’s work.

Recess

Arts Ed. – We began a watercolour leaf project.

*Just a reminder to please return all forms sent home back to school. I missed sending home the lunchroom registration form last week (oops! my mistake), and sent it home today. These forms are due back Thursday.
