Fabulous First Week!

It has been a great full first week, getting to know all of my new students. It's always nice to see some familiar faces, as well as welcome our new students to our school and class. We have been busy getting routines and procedures set up, and learning the expectations of our classroom together.

We have been building our stamina during Daily 5 and working on Read to Self. Hopefully reading groups will be up and running in the next week or so.

 Busy at the puzzle table. We have had a few discussions on different ways to work on solving the puzzle together, as everyone has a different strategy.

In math, we have been focussing on patterns. Grade 3's will begin working on growing, shrinking, and number patterns. Grade 2's will continue to work on more complicated repeating patterns, as well as number patterns.

As a class, we have created 5 rules...

1. Respect yourself and do your best.

2. Respect the environment.

3. Listen to who is speaking.

4. Respect and be kind to others.

5. Be safe
