We began today by putting together all we've learned about the parts of speech to identify words in some sample sentences. Next week we'll move from strictly group work to some individual exercises.Next we had a discussion about Terry Fox. Afterwords, Meredith Thomsen, who is coordinating the community run, came and spoke to our class and Mr. Pond's class about Terry Fox. She showed some brief video clips and then we split into two groups: some worked on posters with her for this weekend's community run, others met with Mr. Pond and me to begin organizing the school run scheduled for Thursday, September 27.
After lunch we had our first buddy-reading with the Grade 2-3 class. I am new to this practice, but enjoyed watching the solid leadership that our class showed the younger students. Next, we did some silent reading of our class novel - please ensure you read up to page 13 before Monday's class. Afterwords, we did a review and recall exercise for yesterday's socials lesson. If you were unable to complete that in class, please do so for homework (see yesterday's blog post to view the slides). We ended the day with a short game of capture the flag.
Enjoy the weekend. Good luck if you choose to participate in the Terry Fox Run. Ten students still need to return the school "walking" permission slip. Finally, don't forget we have band on Monday morning.
