Hello families and friends,
Today we were able to make it to 10 minutes of focused Buddy Reading. Then in Word Work we made words using only the sounds that we have worked on up to this point. We also went to the Learning Commons to switch out our books.
In the afternoon we did some investigation of the leaves that we gathered as a group on our community walk yesterday. The students had a lot of great questions about them and we will be learning more about these in the coming weeks. Also, in Writer's Workshop we worked on adding detail to our writing. The students wrote about what kind of pet they would like to have, based on the book "I Wish I Had a Dinosaur" and to include some reasons and also some things that they could not do with that pet. Ask your child what they wrote about.
Tomorrow is the Terry Fox Hot Dog Lunch and Run. The students will not be needing as much in their lunches because of this. Also if possible, please send in a small blanket for the children to sit on as we will be eating outside. We will also be writing some inspirational messages along the path with our grade 3/4 buddies in room 70.
Thank you to those of you who have sent in the ziploc bag for the students' home reading bags. We will be looking to get books sent home for the weekend so please keep bringing those in.
Thanks and have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
