Monday, March 22

 Hi parents,

We had a good Monday today!

In the morning, the students wrote to answer some comprehension questions about the Junie B. Jones novel we are reading now, "A Little Monkey Business". The class also worked on some math worksheets that featured both 2-digit addition and subtraction problems. These worksheets are kind of like the 'final boss' for addition and subtraction. Having to pay close attention to the + and - signs in each problem adds an extra layer of difficulty that can really throw students off - however, it is also the best way to ensure students have a true understanding of the differences between addition and subtraction!

Today, as part of our "This Land is Our Land" booklets, the students learned about Saskatchewan. 

The class also wrote in their journals about their weekends.

In the afternoon, we did Daily 5 and Spelling Practice. This week, our spelling words are focused on the 'ea' blend. I introduced the students to the catchy rhyme: "When two vowels go walking, (sometimes) the first one does the talking". This is also an equally catchy Jack Hartmann song:

We ended our day with a quick game of "Name the Song".

Have a nice day!
