We began the day with two show and tell. Student 'I' shared her remote control super tank, and 'J' brought in a unicorn toy, a mythical magical creature that she likes.

After Show and Tell we began working on our mini book on "dealing with a fear" based on a poem by Shel Silverstein and the book "There is a nightmare in my closet" by Mercer Mayer. As we worked on our mini books we watched part of the movie "Monsters Inc" which deals with the monsters that live in our closets.

In the half hour before lunch we broke up into three math groups one guided by Mrs. Colley, one by Mrs. M and one by me. We worked on addition and each group worked at their appropriate math level.

After recess we had our first Buddy class where we learned strategies as older buddies for working with beginning readers. There are 16 little buddies and 26 of us. Today all were trained and had a chance to interact and read with a little buddy in Mrs. Dagg's grade 1 class... in the future we will take turns during buddy activities, some students with little buddies the others working in the class.

We ended the day by having the little buddies join us in the gym for relay races. It was fun, it was hilarious and we got to know our little buddies and they got to know us.
