This morning we did some free reading time for 30 minutes. We did some drum fit and a self-assessment. In music we were learning the songs for the concert. The concert will be Tuesday, December 9th, in the evening. Our songs are Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Have a Holly Jolly Christmas, and the Chipmunk Christmas Song. If you would like to practice these songs or lyrics at home, go to Mrs. Jackson or Mrs. Jones' blog. Then we had word work. Our words of the week are "can", "is", "so", and "not" for grade ones and "they", "but", "had", and "that".
This afternoon we learned about subtraction with Mrs. Sloane's class. Then we did a When I Was Little writing task. Ask your child what they wrote about.
Fun Lunch is this Wednesday, November 26th.
Tomorrow is our field trip to the Science Centre. The bus leaves around 9:00 so please don't be late!
Update: At the end of the day, one of our students took home the wrong pair of boots. Please check your child's winter gear that they have brought home and if they have anything that does not belong to them please send it back with them the next day. A lot of the students have similar looking things, so this is bound to happen once in a while. The boots in question today are black felt.
