This morning we went to the Learning Commons for the first time this year. Mrs. Schuman read us a fun story called Big Brown Bear's Up and Down Day by David McPhail. She also reminded us how to sign out books. We were able choose and sign out books for our class. Soon we will be able to sign out books to take home. After going to the Learning Commons we went to gym and played the 'Super Chicken' game. After recess we discussed what makes a 'good fit - just right' book and made selections from books in the class. Then we practiced 'Read to Self' remembering to stay focused, in one spot and practicing using our reading strategies. Before lunch we learned a new poem called I Like a Book. We found many 'popcorn' words and several rhyming pairs such as things - kings, do - true and land - understand.
In the afternoon we showed Mrs. McLarty what we know about numbers, counting by 10, 5s, 2s, adding and subtracting. This year in Social Studies we will be learning about 3 communities in Canada - Acadians (East Coast), Prairies and Nunavut. We have been learning a song called, Canada in my Pocket. Today we were gathering ideas about what we think we know about Evergreen, Calgary, Alberta, Canada and the World.
Important notes:
1) Scholastic flyers were sent home today. Ordering is optional.
2) Please send in a shoebox to be used for a project if you have one. If not, Mrs. McLarty has many extras. We will need them for Wednesday.
3) Please return forms from the office.
