We have really been working hard to build our stamina in reading and working in the classroom. We are up to 16 minutes of Read to Self. We did such a good job that Mrs. Zwack was able to start reading with individual students with no interruptions. Read to Someone is coming along nicely and students are working on developing fluency through shared reading. In handwriting today we worked on i and t and were able to write our first word "it" in handwriting!
We started to set up our Literacy Notebooks today. These will be a large part of our work this year!
When reading Edward Tulane, we discovered that Edward is beginning to experience new emotions as he encounters new people in his life. He is missing Abeline and is finally realizing that he needed to have loved her in return!
Please be sure to be reading at home for at least 15-20 minutes each night!!
Mrs. Bowles had quite an adventure this morning. She traveled to three schools in the Foothills School Division to look at their Learning Commons. We are in the process of transforming our Learning Commons at Cranston into an amazing learning space. She came back with many great ideas and shared a book called The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.
In math, we continued our work on addition and reviewed our games that helped us get faster with knowing our facts. We then worked on as many ways to find the answer to the question:
If 42 is the answer what might the question be?
We are trying to finish up our Fossil Fuel comics and will begin looking at other fuel sources in Alberta and how they are made. We will look at Alberta's Oilsands and how these are formed.
We ended our day with dance. We are a great dance group and it is a great way to finish off our day.
