Dear Families,
We started our day off with morning morning meeting and then music. After music we had some time to work on our fairy tales. As a class we created some criteria for our story beginnings. Ask me what we need to have in our story beginning. The students then had a chance to start to write their beginnings. They were amazing! Ask me to tell you about my story beginning.
After writing we began to explore measurement in Math. We needed to use a referent and measure some things that can be found in our classroom. Before we measured the items with blocks we had to create an estimate. Ask me what an estimate is. After we made our estimate and recorded it in our books, we used blocks to measure how long the items actually were. This was the actual measurement. We then recorded our measurements in our Math books.
After lunch went outside to plant our sunflowers. Ask me about planting my sunflower seed.
When we came back in from planting we had our snacks then it was time to go and watch the wonderful performance by the Grade 4 students. Wow! What a great show. The grade 1's loved it, and they were a wonderful audience too!
Tomorrow is library day so bring your books back.
Bring your home reading in to get a new book for the weekend.
Have a wonderful evening.
