Mrs. Everett started today with devotions with the students and administered their spelling test as well. Then we had Guided Reading groups, a discussion and questions about visualization (ties into our writing topic right now about using sensory details), and then I read from 'Matilda'.
After Recess we had Math, and the students worked on corrections and then continued with some additional practice with patterns. Next week we will have a test on what has been taught (and hopefully learned!) so far, but I'm not mentioning this to the children yet.
Then we went to the lab to read some hilarious poetry by Shel Silverstein. The children each copied one poem out into their Poetry Anthology (their collection of poetry they enjoy), and then they worked on All The Right Type for 15 minutes.
Some hard-working students enjoyed a pizza lunch with me today (part of the monthly B.U.G. draw), and then we had another session in the lab, this time working with www.studyladder.ca . Your child has his or her login information written in his or her planner, as well as an information sheet for you with that information on it. We experimented with it a bit today, and I encouraged the children to work with it this weekend at home. It reinforces what we're learning at school and helps to build their confidence as well.
The students ended their day with P.E. with Mr. Banman.
Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend everyone! Here's hoping this fantastic weather continues! :)
