FSA results were sent home in sealed envelopes today

Welcome back!

This morning we got back into routine with the Monday Spelling Pre-Test, followed by a math multiplication game with a ball (similar to Silent Ball but including counting by 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, and 10s) and a page of basic fact (8x6; 4x2; etc) practise.

After recess students wrote and drew about what they are proud of learning so far this year and tomorrow they will set goals for this last term. After writing and drawing, I read aloud from Spiderwick while students worked on the Shoe Art they started before Spring Break. They traced their shoe and drew in the sole's details, then transformed it into an insect, adding wings, eyes, antenae, etc. They are very creative and colourful so far! Great job!

Before lunch, students who wanted to share did, with each sharer getting 3 questions or compliments from the class. If students didn't share today, they will have an opportunity tomorrow too.

After lunch was Library book exchange, Silent Reading, the start of our animal unit in Science (What do you think you know about Beavers? - brainstorming as a class and writing down our thoughts in point form), and then games in Gym.

My camera battery died over the break and I forgot to charge it before work today. I apologize for the lack of pictures!
Congratulations E. and L. for having your artwork published in the Times Colonist over Spring Break.

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. S
