October 15, 2014

Hello families and friends,

This morning we worked on our Read to Self and Read to Someone.  We were able to make it for 25 minutes in our Read to Self!  In gym we played Bandage Tag and a game with bean bags.  Ask your child about this.  Then in word work we worked on the /ch/ sound.  In writer's workshop we practiced doing some writing from our imagination.  Ask your child what they wrote about.

In the afternoon we did some math centres.  The students worked on subitizing games and addition sentences using ten frames.  Ask your child about these.  At the end of the day we did an activity on living and non-living things.

We forgot to go to the Learning Commons today!  We will be going tomorrow so remember to bring in your library books if you have not already.  If we can all remember to bring them back this week and next week we will start taking out 2 books.

Why are the days shorter and the nights longer in Fall and Winter?  Post your answer in the comments below.

Have a wonderful Wednesday,
Room 74 and Mr. Soulliere

  1. Logan and I figure it has to do with the tilt of the earth on its axis. In the winter the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.

  2. Anukula-

    the seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth which is 23.5 degrees and the tilt does not shift but the earth moves with the tilt in the same direction.
