Here are our Word Wall Words for this week: at has it see when

Good morning everyone! We launched our reading groups yesterday, picked our own short stories for our reading boxes, and practiced the first part of our reading program, Daily Five. Do you remember what it was called girls and boys? (Read to Self).  Mrs. Comeau taught us a really groovy song to help us pick our books!! Were you singing it to your family last night? I was practicing at the supper table with my family! They thought it was pretty good J ! We also put up five sight words on our word wall and made up a song for them too! Boy oh boy does Mrs. Comeau like to sing! It makes things so much more fun to learn!! In grade 1 Math class, we modeled our number of the day in different ways, continued to practice counting to 20, making different groups with a given number, and explored different ways to make patterns with snap cubes and found the part that repeats! The grade two’s learned how to gather information about themselves and others to answer questions. They are learning how to create graphs with Mrs. Robinson! Do you remember the names of the graph’s you will be creating grade 2? (Pictographs and concrete graphs) In You and Your World Ms. Gallant went over our bus safety rules and we wrote down one rule that we remembered and then began to color our buses, then it was off to the gym for Phys. Ed. ! What did you do in there yesterday boys and girls? This evening we will have our open house. This is where everyone will have a chance to meet the other teachers at St. Andrew’s and ask any questions you may have! I hope to see you all there! Have a great day!!

We had a very busy day today! First, in Language Arts, we read Class Clown by Robert Munsch. I think we all agreed that he is one of our favorite authors. Do you remember what Leonardo grew up to be at the end of the book? We are also starting to build our stamina during read to self. Today we read for two minutes without any interruptions! Bravo boys and girls! The students and I also had the opportunity to practice our bus evacuation today. This is really important even if you do not take the bus on a regular basis because we do go on the bus from time to time with our school for field trips or for skating in the winter. We were all very respectful and listened to the bus driver as he explained what to do in case of an emergency. Do you remember how many emergency exits there are on the bus? Wow our school routines are already going much smoother! We talked as a class, about the importance of having a few rules in our class so that it will run much smoother! What are the five rules that Ms. Gallant wrote on the chart paper? Show and tell your parents the actions of our five rules! It will make your dear teacher happy! In Math class today we did some activities with numbers! Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Gallant both taught our class! The children even helped write the outcome for today's lesson! They were amazing! Can you tell your parents what we did today in Math? Well, tomorrow we have Art and I think paint may be involved! This should be fun! I hope you all have a nice sleep tonight and are ready for tomorrow! We are off to a great start here in room 221!
