Well here we are at the last day of September already! The month has flown by, and October is likely to race by even more quickly, what with holidays and 3 Pro-D Days!
Today began with RW, and the students continued with their Literature Study of 'Henry and the Clubhouse'. They are finishing the questions to do with Chapter 3 now.
Afterwards they did their Spelling pre-test (words can be found on the Spelling page), and were so relieved to see that this week's memory verse is much shorter than the last two. :)
They enjoyed an indoor game of soccer for DPA, then had recess.
During WW we talked about using our senses in writing, focusing this time on words to do with colour. Each student was paired with another and worked on words that are a certain colour (i.e. blue - blueberries, water, ocean, sky, etc.). Ask your child what colour he or she worked on and the words they came up wtih.
Then we had Math, and many students had corrections to do from last week's work. Some have this for homework if they didn't manage to complete it in class.
We had a fun Science class this afternoon, where we learned about the difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound. Ask the students about our experiment and what they learned (it involved a whistle and we went outside).
Then, what they had all been waiting for, we finally had our B.U.G. draw! The students were thrilled to discover that the grand prize was a pizza B.U.G. lunch with me on Friday. I will contact the parents of those children who will be joining me Friday so that they are in the loop.
Friday is also a school spirit day, meaning that the children can wear Fall colours in lieu of their uniform if they bring $1 which will go towards the middle school missions trip later this year.
