A Thumping Thursday

We had a great Thursday today!!!

This morning we worked on our Daily 5.  During Daily 5 we had the choice of working on writing, reading to someone or reading to self.  We also worked on our Words Their Way spelling list.

This morning we had music class.  During music we sang "Fight Song" and we changed the words to support Terry Fox.  We were also practicing our National Anthem.  During gym class we had a running warm-up.  Ask us what type of hula-hoop cooperative game we played.

We continued to read Frindle and we got to the main part of the story.  Ask your child what were the three main events that lead Nick to his great plan.

In the afternoon we worked in groups of three or four and analyze different patterns.  I will post the pictures once I receive all of the proper signed forms.

Cranston has started a Running Club that will last five weeks.  A form will be emailed to all the parents.  If you would like to sign up your child for the running club, please fill out the forms and send them back by September 15th.

We discussed today about the afternoon snack.  I explained the snack needs to be a one-handed snack.  We talked about the different options (e.g. apple, cheese stick, etc.).  Also, we discussed that the second snack is not mandatory, as a number of students thought that they needed to bring an extra snack.

Additionally, everyone needs to respond back to Tuesday's Math Question so we can go over it as a class!!!!

We have started a new writing project called "How to Be Me".  Please ask your child about this project.

In support of Terry Fox and to build stamina our class will be running/walking to the windmill tomorrow for gym class.  Please make sure your child will have the appropriate attire.
