I am happy to be back at school after being sick for the last two days!
We began our day with some Literacy Centres, followed by a quick math activity with some of our snap cubes at the carpet! After recess, we had snack, and then had a "Stop, Drop, and Read" announcement! I was so impressed with how our class immediately stopped what they were doing, got a book out, and quietly read for the whole 15 minutes! We then had Music, followed by netball in phys ed.! After lunch, we discussed our upcoming community project, and decided what building in our new community we needed, and who was going to be responsible for building it! We then had a special guest-- Mr. Veronese-- come in and read us his favourite book during our "Stop, Drop, and Read" time! We finished the day learning about a new social studies art project we will be working on during the next few weeks!
Please remember to bring back library books for tomorrow!
Please and Thank You / Volunteer Opportunities:
- We would love to have morning reading volunteers to share books with students one-on-one, from 8:30-9:00 any day that it works for you!
- We would very much appreciate volunteers during literacy centers: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10:45 - 11:30, and Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 - 9:30. Thanks for considering!
Library:
Our Library day is on Thursday, and many of our students have books out that are long overdue! Please remember to bring back any books that have been taken out of the Library for tomorrow (remember, you can renew books you really want to keep reading!). Thank you!
