Wormtastic!

Good afternoon,

Today we started with a quiet read. Following that, we worked on our newspaper writing on bats. We are moving on to a new animal so it's important that we get this finished. The students are doing some excellent descriptive writing on the things they learned.

Today in gym, we did some activities outside. We could play frisbee, football, skip, or play soccer.

After gym, we continued to read from our book Silverwing. We learned about the echo chamber. The bats in the book tell their stories in the echo chamber and they stay there forever. Shade was taken to visit the echo chamber with one of the elders.

After recess, room 7 had music while room 8 did some ketchup.

Right before lunch we got our new word wall words. We wrote them down 3 times and used them in a sentences.

After lunch, we did some reading.

Once we were finished reading, we started on a new animal in science. Over the next few days we will be talking about worms. Today we learned the parts of a worm and labelled a diagram. We also got to see a worm and touch it if we wanted. Once we had looked at the worm, we wrote in our booklet. We described what a worm, "look like," "feels like," and "moves like."

Reminders, this is a short week. There is early dismissal on Thursday and no school on Friday.

Have a great evening!
