After editing our very wacky Wednesday message for backward letters and funky spelling chunks, we welcomed a guest expert! Amanda from the City of Calgary came to talk to the grade ones about city and community planning. After recess we took spring photos (ordering, of course, is optional) and continued working on our goal-setting writing. We wrote about what strategies we will use to work toward our goals. In the afternoon the students finished creating their own Doubles Bump game boards that show their visual understanding of doubles, then tested them out playing with a friend! We finished our day with a singing grade one superstorm to practice our Community Celebration of Learning songs!
