Tuesday September 10th

I'm going to try and knock out today's blog before school!  I've got a busy day today, and I'm not sure I'll have any other time.

Here we go:

Period 1 will be reader's workshop.  We're going to be looking at keeping our eyes and our minds on our books (staying focused when reading).
Period 2 is Writer's workshop.  We're going to continue to focus on writing stamina and strategies we can use to keep us focused.
I'm hoping to squeeze in 'take 2' of Willougby Wallaby Woo somewhere in the first block!

Period 3 Mrs. Haynes has them for dance/music.
Period 4 we're going to brainstorm our first unit in science-soil.  We'll watch this video at some point:

Period 5 we're going to look at patterns in a hundreds chart, practise skip counting forwards and backwards.  Here is link to a cool 'interactive hundreds chart' you can use at home:

Period 6 I have the computers booked.  I'm hoping to give the kids some Math Prodigy time to practise logging on and to complete the 'placement test'. 

NOTE:  I'm still finalizing our class schedule, but this is what I have tentatively going on:
