Today we started our day off with agendas as usual, today's notes were:

• Cursive pg 8-9 (if not completed yet)
• Read for 20 minutes
• Student handbook form
• Math 
• page 7 q1, page 8 q5 (WE FINISHED IN CLASS TODAY!)
• page 2 q1 a,b (this is on a separate sheet)
• Book order

***Our spelling quiz is tomorrow, there is also a letter about international day in their agenda, if you are interested in helping out please feel free to comment or e-mail me. I will be sending out further details.***

Then we had PE with Mrs Jans

After PE we had math, today we looked at patterns and counting on a hundred chart. I gave the students some exploration time to colour patterns on our hundreds charts, afterwards I asked them to explain to me what their patterns meant. They were able to explain that they were counting in 2's, 5's, and 10's. (Each pair of students tried different patterns) 

We then looked at patterns together as a class and defined what rows, columns and diagonal means. We found out something neat... that if you have a diagonal line the digits add to the same number! We also noticed that if you travel down the same column the value of the tens increases by 1 ten each row.

After math we had our first lunch and recess.

After recess we stayed outside for our literacy lesson. We talked about what verbs are and played a game of Simon says with only verbs.

After literacy we had music and after music we had French!

After that it was time for second lunch and recess.

After recess it was time for UOI. Today we looked at determining heroes in a community. We designed a paper plate with paper hands around it with our community heroes and what they do. 

After UOI we tidied up, handed out homework and got ready for home.

Cheers!
