Grade 6 Buddies

Today we met with our Grade 6 buddies. We meet once a week, and we do all kinds of fun things with them. Today we interviewed each other, and next week we'll introduce each other to the rest of the class. We will meet once a week throughout the year, and we usually keep the same buddy for the whole year.

Read the Room

In order to become good readers we need to read, read, read! One of the many things we do to practise is "reading the room". There are many charts and posters on the walls in our room that have words on them that we know how to read. Sometimes we "read the room" with a partner. When we do that we go around the room with a partner and take turns reading all of the words that we know to each other. It is very good practise.

Library Day

Every Day 3 we go to our school library,so today was library day. We get to pick two books each, and sometimes picking those two books is a very difficult decision to make! Library day is always a highlight of our week.

Patterning

Today we did a patterning activity with a partner. We had to make a pattern, then we had to describe the pattern in two DIFFERENT ways.

Grade One Fun

On Friday afternoon Class 1.2 came to our class for a shared activity time. It was lots of fun getting together with many of our last year's classmatesl

Patterning

We are learning about patterning in math. Today we wrote in our math journals, using picture, numbers, and words, to tell what we know about patterning.

Spelling Bibs

We have learned the alphabet letters p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, and a. Today we used our spelling bibs to practise our sounds and to blend letters into words.
