Hello families and friends,

This morning we started our day with working on our Read to Self and Read to Someone skills.  Then we went to the Learning Commons.  A reminder that we can have these books signed out for up to two weeks before they need to be returned.  In writing, we have been working on making some cards that show different characters and adjectives to help us when we are trying to think of something to write about.  We also worked on our partner stories that we started yesterday.  In word work we did the /ch/ and /u/ sounds.  In the afternoon we did some work on Mathletics.  Then we continued our look at hot and cold temperatures.  In the comments below, tell me an activity you like to do outside when it is cold.  In gym, we continued our gymnastics work.

A reminder that swimming forms are due back by next Monday, January 16th.

I have had a few notes mentioning that people are able to volunteer for swimming.  The permission forms for swimming will go home at a later date, likely at the end of January or beginning of February, and there will be space on there for marking off which day(s) you are available to come and help out.  We will be swimming at Bob Bahan Pool again this year.

Have a great afternoon,
Mr. Soulliere
