Welcome Cody!!! Today was a day filled with excitement… we had a new visitor in our class who had an amazing day! Cody made new friends and gained new knowledge. Great Work Cody, we hope to see you again soon.

We began our day with our Spelling quiz. The students were very prepared and completed their quizzes with success.

In Math, we continued our work with skip counting and counting in groups. All of the children took risks in their learning, by opening their minds to new forms of skip counting. They informed they could skip count by 3's, 4's, 6's, and even 8's. They also, accurately expressed addition statements in the forming of groups.

Language Arts, was a wonderful and quiet period of the day when the students reflected on Chapter 2 of "A Little Princess". Establishing knowledge around the main character of the story and her relationships with others.

POWER WRAP LUNCH!! WAHOOO!!

After we all filled up on delicious power wraps we focused on continuing our development of writing skills, in Writer's Workshop. Today the children wrote dynamic paragraphs on a Time Traveller Adventure. They were tasked to write about a trip into the past, what they saw, who they met, and the interesting adventures that took place.

At the end of the day, in Choir and Drama the students practiced their "Kite Poem" and songs for DYFA. A Guaranteed Hit!!
