Hello families and friends,
We started off our day today working on our partner stories. These are coming along really well, and most of the groups are starting to illustrate them. We will be working afterwards on putting them together electronically. After that we practiced our reading skills with some of the group on Read to Self and the rest on Read to Someone, switching halfway through. Then we added our new words of the week. They are "why", "pick", "new", and "help" for grade ones, and "which", "best", "little", and "with" for grade twos. In the afternoon we started with a look at the things we had come up with last week that we know about Lola and what her needs are. Then we came up with some questions that we want to learn about her, or leopard geckos. We will be working on this for the next few weeks to develop our research skills for when we get started on our own animals. Then we talked a little about Arbor Day, as our school is part of the celebration this year, and watched the movie The Lorax. The students had lots of great ideas and questions about why trees are important. In gym, we continued our obstacle course.
Report cards have gone home today. Please sign the envelope and return it to me so that it can be used again for the report card at the end of the year.
Have a great afternoon,
Mr. Soulliere
