Monday Sept 25th

We began the day with a five minute name game "7-up" to help the new students to the class and school learn and remember the names of all the students. After attendance and the game the students began their third mini-book, "An ABC of me" The students are making an ABC book of themselves. It will have their likes and dislikes and things about themselves for each of the letters of the Alphabet.

The students were given their spelling words for the first 15 weeks. There are two spelling groups so ask your child which spelling list they received to study. The spelling words are in a black duo-tang. A separate small sheet containing the spelling words was also sent home, however, the beauty of the blog is the words are also on the right side of the blog so you will always have access to them. After recess the students had music with Mrs. Awalt. In music the students began with a game, sang a french song and a few other familiar songs.
After music the students had 15 min to work on their new mini-book and make sure they finished their last week's mini-book on fear. Music was followed by Math where the students worked in their groups on addition.

After lunch most of the students in our class went to choir. Those students not in choir had a musical appreciation period where they listened to music by Beethoven and worked on a one page report oh him.

After choir the students had 10 min of free catch up time followed by Social Studies. In social studies we studied the West coast Longhouses. We compared them to temporary structures such as the igloo and the tepee. The students worked on completing a one page report on the Longhouse.

We ended the last 10 min of the day with a game of 7-up because they were working hard on their Socials.
