January 20-24

It looks like we might be out of the deep freeze next week and that means that we will be back to our regular recess routines!  Please remember to send warm winter gear for your child to wear during our recess breaks.  An extra pair of socks in their backpack might be a good idea as well since our playground could get quite sloppy with the predicted warmer temperatures. 

Since we were unable to get outside this week, we decided to have a snowball fight IN the classroom with word wall words!  This was so much fun as the students wrote words on pieces of paper, crumpled them up, threw them around the room. Then they  had to pick up one snowball at a time, read the word on it and write in their snowfort!  SNOW MUCH FUN!

This week, we will be doing an author study on one of my favourite authors: Barbara Reid.  I had the opportunity to meet Barbara a few years ago at our local Word on the Street festival and she inspired me through her story telling and beautiful plasticine artwork.  We will be reading Barbara's books and creating our very own "Perfect Snow" day based on  the plasticine technique she uses to create her pictures.  Stay tuned for pictures.
