We had a pleasant day today! It began, as usual, with Ignite. Many of the us chose to draw during this time. Afterwards, we had a whole group meeting where we discussed our goals for the day. Following our group discussion, we did some reading to self where we beat a new reading stamina record! We're well on our way to the fifteen minute mark. Fueled by our new record victory, we continued our work on "making words" to build our vocabulary and phonemic awareness. Once we'd played out in the fresh air and eaten our snacks, we learned about the proper way to read to our friends. We learned a neat, new acronym: EEKK. That stands for "elbow to elbow, knee to knee". Sitting together like that means we don't have to read very loudly to be heard and our partner can follow along on the page. Fun!
After lunch, we had our math class. During this time, we usually slip into smaller groups. Mr. Kai's group continued their work from yesterday. They received some printed photos of various objects from around the class and had to arrange them from one to ten. For example, there was a photo of five scissors and another photo of six chairs in a row. We had to place the photo of the scissors before the photo of the chairs to show the succession. Afterward, we had phys. ed. and played some more math games.
Remember, tomorrow is our field trip to Glenbow Ranch! Don't forget to dress warmly. It's supposed to be nice weather tomorrow, but Alberta weather can be quite finicky. Also, bring a lunch and plenty of snacks as we'll be walking a lot.
Can't wait for tomorrow!
