Hi Everyone,
Highlights of Our Day:
- For eye opener we worked on cursive writing. Today we practiced writing the word Autumn
- In literacy today we took all our ideas and observations from our fall walk to create a six box poem about fall. We took one or two ideas from each box to create a line in our poem. We worked on creating a rough draft and some of us, after having our work edited for spelling, began our good copy on the background we created with our leaf rubbings.
- In music today we continued to learn about music notes
- In math today we continued to work on place value and regrouping using the base ten blocks. We played Race to 500 again where we rolled dice to get our starting number then continued to add to this number and regroup as we rolled the dice.
Reminders:
- Early Dismissal today at 11:45 and no school tomorrow as we have parent teacher conferences today from 3:00pm-7:00pm and tomorrow from 8:15am-12:00pm. We are doing these meetings through Microsoft Teams. The links for the conferences were sent last week via email. At your interview time please click on the link and then I will let you in to the meeting at your scheduled time.
- We are now eating snack at 10:15am because of changes to our lunch times. Often students are hungry before this so I am encouraging them to eat a big breakfast or maybe have a quick snack around 8:00am right before school begins. Next week our eating time will be 12:20pm as it is 11:55am right now. This will give each group the same amount of time outside and space between groups coming in and out to help avoid passing other groups
- We are now doing soft entry in the morning as students arrive at school. Students will be able to go into their classroom (thought their designated doors) when they arrive and teachers will be in the room. We are hoping this will alleviate some congestion and allow us to get our day started without waiting in so many lines.
- September 30th will be the Terry Fox Run and Orange Shirt Day. Please make sure your child is dressed the weather and has proper shoes for running/walking. Students are also invited to wear an orange shirt, if they have one
For those of you who couldn't make it to the class virtual tour on Tuesday on Google Meet, I have put the video in our Google Classroom. It was too large to attach to the blog.
