SNAKE

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us last night!

'Wild Christmas Reindeer' by Jan Brett is the mentor text we are using this week.  We enjoyed the story and then discovered it was full of simple and compound sentences.  Everyone used their own book and dug through it for examples of simple and compound sentences.  This morning we watched a couple of videos about reindeer and added facts to our tree map.  Then the fun began.  We started a round of centre all about reindeer.  We are reading for facts, pulling out vocabulary, writing responses and determining facts and opinions.  Ask your child what centre they were at today.

We continue to add two digit numbers and talk about our strategies.  The answer is not the key part of the equation.  How you got there is key.  Students must be able to tell me the strategies they used to find the sum.  We have discovered a new game called SNAKE.  Very engaging and I have discovered this classroom is full of chickens!

Pillars of Care assembly tomorrow at 8:15.  Congratulations to Sadie, Nelson and Haseeb and all the students being recognized for being at school on time every day in December (there are 11 students in this class receiving book marks)
