Hello families and friends,
Today we started off by talking about our "brain pockets" that we use for getting ideas for our writing, and put this into our writing folder. In the comments below, what are the three pockets? Give an example for one of them. After that we worked on building our reading stamina. As a group we have been able to go for 9 minutes of focused, sustained reading. Today we tried with some quiet music in the background, and we were able to go for 8 minutes. We finished off our morning by doing a group sorting activity in math, and practiced using the Bloggies to make videos explaining our work.
In the afternoon we had a substitute teacher, Ms. Curtis. Ms. Handelsman came and talked to our class about Digital Citizenship. Ask your child about this. Then we had a snack and did some reading with Mrs. Boutilier's class, one of our grade 1/2 buddy classes. We ended off our day with our words of the week. These are "I", "do", "the", and "my" for grade ones, and "brother", "sister", "mom", and "dad" for grade twos. The students practiced writing the words, and then worked on using them properly in sentences. Each week we will be adding new words to our word wall. This is a great resource for the students to use to help with their spelling during their writing time, and also for our word work games.
A reminder that we are going to be having our first Inline Skating class on Wednesday. Our other times are next Friday, September 30th, and Tuesday, October 11th.
Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere

The 3 pockets are memory, facts and imagination. One example for an imagination pocket is that I will be a princess.
Kensley says "imagination, facts and memory"
