We began our day editing a very wacky message full of backward letters, funky vowels, and sneaky capitals. We continued working on our 100 shapes placemat art and exchanged our library books. We had music in the morning (it was an extra wacky Wednesday!) since we were missing it in the afternoon, and learned a super fun new game in phys ed, trying to collect pairs of playing cards for our teams as fast as we could! In the afternoon we made a bunch of new friends in grades 5 and 6 who led us to the Pink Shirt Day assembly. It was really neat to see our school become a sea of pink, working together to spread kindness and stop bullying! We learned a flash mob dance to "Happy." The students finished their day with an extra long French block to make Iris videos for Mme. Pallesen that show what they know.
Sight Words
We have been focusing on "bossy r," and how it turns vowels into pirate sounds!
