Another great day almost in the books.
Periods 1 & 2:
We started the day by trying to remember as many characters as possible from Wayside. Then we came up with some class rules. After that we did a class activity where we used our 5 senses to write a quick story about inside the school.
Then we went outside, and tried the same thing on our own, observing nature. We had a long talk about working outside (not being silly)...and the kids were amazing. Really awesome stuff...here are I few I can recall.
Autumn: I hear Mrs. Hayes beautiful voice
Lennon: I feel the wind blowing on my face
Sam: I hear the sound of crickets chirping
Kate: I hear the sound of a train bumping down the track
Violet: I feel the sun beating down on me
Period 3 and 4 we had math. We played the game race to 50 (or race to 100)...you can play it at home to practise adding and regrouping:

They worked really well during the game that we went outside for a bit of free time before 2nd break.
Period 5 we had a class talk about being 'kinder than is necessary' and how to make this class work like a real community. Then we did some Go Noodle activities and watched an episode of Wayside before Mr. Woolley came in.
Period 6 was the Mr. Woolley show.
