Good afternoon!
I hope everyone had an excellent long weekend! There was a lot of learning during Teachers' Convention and I am certain I have some new brain cells. On Family Day, my niece and nephew made me a Tex Mex dinner. It was tasty! What did your family do?
Today we played badminton and our skills were somewhat rusty after the break we took in order to swim. Students were able to choose a partner and practice with hitting birdies to each other over a "net". The net was benches, or gymnastics mats which were stood up. We talked about people having different skills and it was okay if we needed to switch partners to work with someone who was at the same level.
In math, students explored centers. They really gravitate towards making patterns! Our sight words for this week are: any, of, put, play, was. Students spelled the words with me a few times, we wrote an example of fabulous sentences using each word, and then they were asked to write the words in their journals with an accompanying sentence.
Ask your son or daughter about the interesting pictures we saw on the Smartboard. Some were black and white and some were in colour. How did they know what it was when each picture was different? I think it is because they are great detectives!
Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day! Please wear something pink. If you do not have something pink, something that is close to pink. If that is not possible, I will cut out some pink hearts and pin to a shirt. What is Pink Shirt Day? Here is a video:

Have a great evening!
