Our black folders are full!

In morning meeting we shared what we did over Thanksgiving weekend.  We practiced read to self and we read for 6 minutes!  That is the longest we have ever read to self for. We wrote Halloween words in our journals.  We put our ice cream scoops together by putting them in order so the lightest was at the bottom and the darkest at the top and we put the scoops in a cone.

We had library today and we switched our books and read a story called Scared Stiff.  In our class we read a story about a two people who were fighting over whether the picture was a duck or a rabbit. The picture was an optical illusion.

We have lots of things in our take home folder today.  We have a new book order on the school bus side.  The book order is due on October 22.  We have the work we did September on the leave at home side with a yellow note from Ms. Mahan.  But the thing we are most proud of from our September work are hanging in a frame on our wall!

What is Red?

In Science, we turned the squares we painted yesterday into something that is really that colour.  We glued them onto a paper to make our colour posters. We practiced reading our colour words by colouring apples the colour that the word said.  We read a story about Elmer and super El and then we did some Elmer and Brown Bear centers.

We went to learning commons and got some books and listened to an ABC book about the letters getting zapped and crumpled.  Some people picked out 2 and come people picked out 1.  We played apartments in gym.  We had to dodge the balls and we could hide behind the mats for protection. 

The Terry Fox Run is tomorrow!

Colours Everywhere

 We talked about what we did on the weekend during morning meeting and some kids talked about the lunar eclipse and the balloon glow.  Lots of us had fun weekends.  We had Science Centers today where we matched colours with colour words and painted some pieces of paper red, yellow and blue. We practiced reading to self again today and we made it all the way to 5 min! We had gym outside and we did another practiced for the Terry Fox run we were much faster this time!
We need to remember we have library tomorrow and to bring our Toonies for Terry this week.
