We began the week with our weekly spelling words. The words are listed at the right as well the pretest was marked and sent home along with the list of spelling words on a slip of paper. As well each week there is a single double sided worksheet to go along with the spelling words. There is a little time to work on this sheet in class but the main idea is that the students will take it home to work on. 
One of the big bonus's of being in the library/computer lab is we get lots of time using the smart board and the computer for our lessons. We began our new mini-book on the computer using Microsoft Word. Our topic is a week with a mythical or magical creature.
After recess the students went to music where they are preparing songs for our Winter concert. In the picture the students are signing along with one of the songs. Very cool thing to learn as we have a deaf student in the school.
For Math I introduced the students to simple 4x4 sudoku. Sudoku involves mathematical thinking and organization of information in a fun but complex game. Sudoku is a game that the students, if the learn the patterns, can play and use to keep their minds sharp their whole life.
Mrs. M has gone and has been replaced by Tracy who will be with us until the position is posted and filled through the hiring process used by the district. Welcome Tracy and we look forward to working with you.
Be sure to check out the pictures at the right side for yesterday... I will be away Tuesday and Mrs. O will be in for me.
