What an exciting day, with Fun Lunch AND a funny dress-up day! This morning we edited our Wacky Wednesday message for mixed up bossy r chunks! We began our day with literacy centers. We then chose writing target goals and worked on a monthly writing sample after recess. In the afternoon we finished our self-assessment of personal development, citizenship, and character in learning, and enjoyed some "pickle time" (we get to pick what we want) -- Bubblegum Bump, our latest math game, was a popular choice! We finished our day with some computer time to practice our typing skills (the DanceMat Typing game is available on this blog's links page), and to explore cuisenaire rod measurement and comparisons virtually.
Please try to bring your library book to exchange tomorrow if there is still one at home. See you, parents, at conferences tomorrow evening and Friday!
Mail Pockets
- No new notices, so mail pockets remained at school.
- Apologies -- I forgot to send students to change their home reading today as we were very engaged in our computer activities!
Please and Thank You / Volunteer Opportunities
- We would love to have morning reading volunteers to share books with students one-on-one, from 8:30-9:00 any day that it works for you!
- We would very much appreciate volunteers during literacy centers: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 10:45 - 11:30, Wednesday 9:15 - 10:00, and Friday from 9:00 - 9:30. Thanks for considering!
- Thank you SO much to the reading and literacy center volunteers who have been joining us. The extra support has been very helpful in making things run smoothly!
