Room 12 Buddies

Today we got together for the first time with our new buddies from Room 12. This is a split Grade 2/3 class that we will be meeting with for one period every Day 4. Today we met our buddies and they read books to us. It was fun!

Go Fish

 We are learning how to play "GO FISH". We have to learn........ to match numbers, how to ask a question, how to co-operate, how to win/lose graciously, etc.  We would love to  play at home with our families, too! 

........in GO FISH, you want to get a matching pair!

Our Star of the Week did an awesome job telling us all about herself! Thank you!

REMINDER:  TOMORROW, Tuesday , Oct. 8th is the Parent Council Meeting. We would love to see you all there to support a parent council and the wonderful things they do for our school and students. If there is not enough support, there may not be a Parent Council this school year. Please plan on attending! Thank you.

Apple Star

Today we listened to a story about the apple star. The apple seeds can be found inside this star. Then we cut open an apple and checked out the star!!! We think that is pretty cool!

We used fruit manipulatives to make patterns!  Check these out!

Sharing time ---  things that are red!

 Mrs. Macdonell, the Resource Teacher, came to visit us today. She told us that we are going to be getting a visit from a  little teacher next week. His name is Jacob, and he was born on July 22, 2013. Jacob and his mom are going to help teach us about empathy, through a program called  ROOTS OF EMPATHY.
They will be visiting us every month. We will also meet with Mrs. Macdonell before and after the visit from Jacob. Today we guessed what we thought maybe baby Jacob can do. We don't know for sure, but we will ask his mom next week. We also guessed if we thought baby Jacob would be the same size as the doll, or smaller than, or bigger than the doll. During a  Roots of Empathy lesson, we sit around a green blanket. This is where baby Jacob will go when he visits us. We are SO excited to meet him next week. 

Apples

Did you know there are a LOT of different kinds of apples?  We noticed there are apples with  different colours, shapes, and sizes..... and different tastes.  Today we tasted 8 different kinds of apples. We liked all of them, although a few people thought there were a couple that tasted a little sour to them.  Here's a few pictures of some of the kinds we sampled.....

Wacky Science

This morning we had a school wide assembly, with a special guest. Ryan Price and his Wacky Science Show entertained, amazed, and taught us a few things about science. Some comments from our class included....

• I liked when he put something in the tube and it puffed up and spilled out - and made something like toothpaste.
• I liked when the balloon fell in the tube.
• I liked when those kids were cutting the paper.
• I liked how one little boy lifted up 2 big kids.
• I liked when he drew a circle on the paper, and then a real bowling ball came out of the book!

We started our Sharing Time today. This group of students brought in something that was RED  to show and tell us all about. We are working on our oral language skills, as well as our listening skills!

These little architects were busy designing this structure today!
