This Week At School (T.W.A.S.) Shared Writing post

Dear Families, 

We had a very "Indian" week! (ha ha ha)  Our week was really busy because we were trying different things they do in India.  One day we were trying lots of foods.  There was chai tea, curry, basmati rice, naan break, mango chutney-which is like a kind of jam, apricots, and dried banana chips.  There was lot of spices.  The next day we made a game called Pachisi!  It's a game from India.  We made it, then played it.  We need four players to play.  It's not like any other board game we've played in Canada.  Plus it's ancient!

This week we were busy because we were doing lots of poetry.  We were reading and writing poems.  Some of the poems were silly.  Mrs. Deyoe made a poem too.

Today we had an assembly and we performed two poems in front of the whole school.  Our first poem was called "Dogs Rule", and our second poem was called "Video Games".  Five people had speaking lines.  The first person was Evan, the second person was Cortana, and then it was Alec, Jaden, and then Madison.  We practiced and practiced our poems.  This is how our week went.

Dear Families,

This week we've been starting stations for Word Study and Math.  In Word Study there is one statin on the iPad, there's on with Scrabble tiles, you can stamp your words in your notebook, etc.  We got a sheet where you colour in the space for the station you've done.  If you do 3 in a row, you get a blue and gold ticket.  We do our Math stations every Day 3.  They are fun!  We do 1 to 2 every class.  The Math stations are kind of like the Word Study stations because we had fun.

This week we had Art class.  We made Asian elephants because we were talking about India.  We made the elephants step-by-step.  We made the wrinkles with white crayon and when we were done, we painted them with water colours.  We set them off to dry.  Some people were having trouble making grey.  When they dipped their paintbrush in the black they watered it a tiny bit, but you're supposed to water it a lot.  It turned out black, but then it dried and turned grey.  They all turned out AMAZING!

The week have been good and fun.  We are looking forward to next week.

Dear Families,

This week was an exciting week because it was the first week of January!  We started cross-country skiing and it is a lot of fun.  Mr. Sarahs taught us how to tie our boots and put on our skis.  We go cross-country skiing in the field.  We fall a lot but it's still lots of fun.  Mr. Sarahs also taught us how to get up.  We are learning how to jump on our skis too.

We continued measuring in Math.  We were measuring "Where the Wild Things Are" papers and classroom objects.  Our rulers only have millimeters on them, but we cut off the last zero to make it a centimeter.

Mrs. Deyoe started a new thing.  It is called Table Points.  If we get to 25 Table Points, we get an extra period of choice time.  Your table has to be "Checked 5" to get a point.  You can also get a point by working quietly, listening, working together, and having a clean table and floor space.  Table 2 reached 25 points first!  We hope all the tables get 25 points!

Have a good weekend!
