Thursday Sept. 17

 Happy Thursday!

We began our morning working on vowel endings - ed and en.

In math we looked at the patterns that we see on our 100s chart, specifically when we are counting by 2s and 5s. We challenged each other by picking a number (that we would say) and counting by 2s or 5s starting at that number. For example, "can you count by 5s starting at 65?" Ms. MacDonald's class also worked on skip counting by 10's
Can you help me skip count aloud by 2s, 5s and 10's? If you have a 100s chart at home that would help as well.

In writing we worked on our final brain pocket - and the most fun one - our Imagination or Memory  Pocket.
- Mrs. Taylor's class watched the story, Imagine a Place, and then brainstormed some imaginative ideas together that we would want to write a story about. 
- Mrs. MacDonald's class wrote about a memory they had. Ask me about my memory writing today.

Mrs. Taylor's class started a new art project. We started off writing about ourselves - what we love to eat, what we do not like to eat, our favourite color, our favourite part about us, our favourite animal etc
We then painted a colourful background, added a cool picture of ourselves and glued those facts about us around us.
We will be using this art as our visual journal cover.
The art was still a bit wet when these pics were taken...

Ms. MacDonald's class learned how to log on to our school laptops. We then spent time learning how to login to our GoogleAccount and how to get onto our google classroom. We had to use our school email (@edu.ab.ca) and a new password (ask me what it is) to get onto our google classroom. 

Have a great evening!
