We had the best Terry Fox Run today. People ran with the flag. We were running around and around and around and around. Trying to do as may laps as we could. Today we worked on Fact Families again in Math, On computers we use Raz Kids to practice our reading. We had a Terry Fox Assembly in the gym. We met our buddies for the first time. We worked to get to know each other and brainstormed ideas about what the Job of a Buddy is. We based this on a poem we read called The Job of An Apple. In Circle Ms.. Reid shared with us the history of people in Alberta from the past. Please bring in Magician Money $4 by tomorrow. Thank you to all the students who have already done this.

We had a practice Fire Drill today. We practiced in the morning with only our class. Then we had a whole school practice in the afternoon. Our class was very quiet and new what to do. Areeba led us well. Today we also learned about Fact Families in math. In reading groups we tried to read switching with our partners every word. This was good practice for reading fluently and paying attention to following along. We practiced lining up alphabetically again. Please practice fact families at home. Here is an example:
5+4=9 4+5=9 9-4=5 9-5=4 These are members of the same fact family. Try making your own fact families. Blog written by Mr. Bhachu and his assistants. This morning we collected money for Terry Fox and the Magician. Then we shared how we are feeling in circle. Most students were happy today except for one student who couldn't find their money. After Circle we practiced lining up for Fire drills alphabetically. We went to Learning Commons to exchange our books. Next we had gym outside, followed by music. Before lunch we used the computers to finish our writing or to use Raz Kids. After lunch we began Reading Groups. Ask your child to explain what the expectations are for Reading Groups. We had recess in the afternoon and we finished the day writing about the books we read. Please remember to bring $4 for the magician if you haven't. The Terry Fox Run is this Thursday.

Our class likes to play Sam Yuk Gu. The highest we have got to is past 40 and maybe close to 50. Ask your children about this game and how it works. It's not as simple as it seems. Number talks was challenging for some and easier for others. Ask your children how Number talks works. Something exciting that we did today, was learning how to use our gmail accounts to send email. See if your children can log into google at home. Thanks to those parents who have created Prodigy accounts. I look forward to meeting you tomorrow night at our Open House. Sincerely, Mr. Bhachu and his student assistants Students worked on communicating through speaking this morning while sharing in Circle. We then worked on communicating strategies used to solve simple addition equations. This was called "Work it out Wednesday". Before we went to gym we worked on communicating through writing in auction. After gym, we continued Auction and were able to auction off new jobs for students. After lunch we worked on becoming proficient at logging into and out of their computers as well as logging into prodigy.
