A Successful Fire Drill

Hello,

Today we had our first fire drill and the students did a great job practising this important activity.

This morning we continued to work on our Math Skills Inventory sheets and some students started a similar task in Language as well. They had to correct sentences to follow Grammar rules, list rhyming words, differentiate between consonants and vowels, and other important skills. Anyone who didn't start this task today will work on it next week.

We also continued to work on our self-portraits, name stories and time capsules. If any of these tasks are not yet completed, they should be finished over the weekend. The students made good use of the class time given, so hopefully they won't have too much work left to do for these tasks.

We worked on our "All About Me' Robot writing task today as well. The students listed some more information about themselves, within the sections of the robot, and they will finish this task on Monday

In the Gym, we played some exciting games of Bear Tag to warm up. Then the students worked well together in teams of three, during an energetic game of "Snap, Crackle, Pop."

Next, in Religion, we discussed our dreams and the dreams that God has for the people of the world.

Finally, we started using my camera to take photos of each other, for a presentation we are planning to share next week, when parents will be visiting our classroom. Hopefully we can get it finished in time!

I showed the students how to use the zoom and the focus on my camera and they did a great job of taking portrait shots of members of the class.

Have a wonderful weekend with your families.

Mr. Skinner
