Week 5

It is October already! We can hardly believe a month has already gone by! Time flies when you are having fun and learning lots!

We have parent teacher conferences this week on Thursday night and Friday morning. Hope to see everybody there!

We decorated our feathers this week and we also added a wish to them for others. We put them up in the hallway to make a beautiful mural for the school. We got to take cool pictures with the mural and we are going to glue the pictures into our writing books.

Even Mr. Robinson got in on the fun!

We got to use the typewriter this week to type out the children's right we illustrated with water colour pencil crayons earlier this week. Using the typewriter was different but it was also fun! It felt like we were old time writers. It was pretty addicting to press the keys and see the letters show up on the paper. When we were all finished they looked so so cool! We put them on display in the hallway.

In gym we have started our soccer unit. We have been practicing controlling the ball around the gym and passing. Soon we will be practicing our shooting skills for getting goals.

In math we made our very own awesome clocks. We made them with plates and they have moving hands.

We went to the learning commons this week to get new library books. We spent some time with the new furniture and getting cozy with our books!

This Thursday is World Teacher's Day.

Handbells and choir started this week :)

  

Today's photo of the day on National Geographic's website was of an Orangutan. We had a good discussion about animals environments and habitats and how humans are responsible for protecting our planet and the animals so that they don't go extinct.

We earned free choice this week! Super exciting!!

Halloween is coming up in 26 days! This year.... we get to wear our costumes to school!

Thanksgiving is on Monday so there is no school. We will see you again on Tuesday!

Until next time,

Love,

Room 7 & 8
