Monday, Sept. 23

Highlights:

• This morning in Literacy, we talked about expected behaviours at school and created a list of them. 
• We also had our first fire drill of the year. Ask me how I felt about it. 
• For PE, our warm up was Rock, Paper, Scissors Exercise. After, we practiced our underhand throwing. 
• During Math, we reviewed our base ten pictures. We started to create a picture using different blocks. Ask me what I am creating and what base tens I used. We also did an esti-mystery. Ask me if I was close!
• In Social Studies, we continued to talk about collaboration and what this looks like at school. We worked on a activity where we have to provide examples. Ask me how I can collaborate. 
• For Reading Rotations we were introduced to a new rotation called Loose Parts. Ask me what we do in this station.
