Robert Munsch the books, paper puppets, Music and Computers

Notice: 

Pro-D day tomorrow No School

T shares a special stuffy

We began the day with our spelling test.  We then went to our buddy class and read many, many Robert Munsch books.  Today we are preparing for the Family literacy day on sunday.  We would like you to spend 15 min, minimum, doing something literate.  If you could do it using Robert Munsch, all the better.  That took us up to recess.  After recess we again went with our buddies to the computer lab and library and worked on making puppets to act out the Robert Munsch story, The Paper Bag Princess.  It was a creative and fun time and took us up until lunch.

After lunch part of the class went to computers to work on a diagram with dialogue boxes.  The goal is they then have to take the comic like speech bubbles and write the dialog out like it would appear in book form. 

The other part of the class worked with Faith, a grade 6 student, who was a student at Tillicum last year.  Faith is one of the great writers to go through our school.  She worked with a group of our students who volunteered to get some extra writing help.  Many of our students may go on to become great writers too, so it is great to see her and have the chance to work with her before she is famous.

The class then went to music. whree they continued working on reading music and playing the recorder.  They have progressed amazingly well.  Music is a great gift to give yourself.  It does help that we have such a great and talented music teacher in Mrs. Awalt to make it positive and happy. 

We ended the day finishing up our test, cleaned up our room, opened the bank for payday, then returned to the computer lab to finish our work.  See you all Monday, as tomorrow is a Pro-D day.
