We began our morning by reading a new "th" poem together and adding it to our poetry duotangs! We then brainstormed what we thought makes a good story (it's funny, about things we are interested in, etc.)-- our class got so into it, we even started writing some stories of our own! After recess, we had our very first drumming session-- it was a blast! After fun lunch, we had PoWer Hour (which is always fun), then computers (we made IRIS videos using our special microphone headsets!)
Drumming Residency Performance
If you would like to come see your child share the drumming skills they will be learning over the next two weeks, our class will be performing (along with other classes) on Wednesday, November 25 from 10:30 to 11:30.
Field Trip Fees:
Please remember to pay the field trip fees. The notice came home at the end of September. The cost for all the field trips and in-school activities is $88.00. Payment can be made online by credit card as school fees. If online payment does not work for you, you may come in to pay using debit or credit at the office. We have been paying for our field trips so your prompt payment will help us with these fees. If you have any concerns with the lump sum payment, please contact Mrs. Pulfer, ([email protected]).
