Week Twenty Three

This week we learned about "self-talk." We learned the difference between negative self talk and positive self talk and how it can help us. Ask me to tell you about positive self talk and demonstrate it for you!

We had buddies this week and we helped our little buddies write in their journals about what they like about themselves. We read a book called "I Like Myself." This was a good opportunity for us to teach them what we learned about self-talk.

We had THREE birthdays this week!!! Wowza! Happy Birthday to J, J & E!! Our buddy teacher Ms. Schulhof had a birthday this week too! Happy Birthday!

    

We continued working on a word hunt using the thesaurus. Our vocabularies are really beginning to blossom!!

We had a really good two days with our guest teachers while Ms. Kolb and Ms. Klem were away! We definitely earned free choice this week and we are thrilled about it!

We did have a bit of a hiccup at lunch on Wednesday but after some reflection we made sure lunch on Thursday went much better for everyone!

We had fun lunch on Wednesday, yummy! :) 

We read a book called "Journey" - it had NO WORDS!! It was just pictures and we stopped part of the way through and had to write our own ending to the story!

In Social Studies this week we finished researching the countries and adding the information to our graphic organizers. We started a compare and contrast activity that we will finish next week!

In math we learned about re-grouping! We have been using the base 10 blocks to work through subtraction questions and worked with numbers into the thousands!

Next week will be a busy week! Not only is it the last week of February already but we have Mission Impossible in the gym, it's Mr. Collin's birthday next week AND it will be pink shirt day on Wednesday February 28th. To prepare for Mission Impossible we got lots of safety instructions about how to use the climber properly. Ask me what some of the safety rules are.

The grade 3's wrote the blog today because the grade 4's were working on a survey about school on the computers.

We got a new/ returning student this week! Welcome back A!

Until next week,

Love,

Room 7 & 8
