Spelling Words for the week of October 11

This weeks words focus on words with the long O sound and how to distinguish between one and two-syllable words. 

This Weeks Words:

rocket, pocket, hold, told, often, grow, throne, so, sew, most, almost, both, coach, open also

We began the day doing spelling sheets that focus the students spelling words.  This was followed by a gym period where we played group games.

The Victoria Ballet performed for the School.  An amazing performance of athleticism, devotion and beauty.

After Recess we started with handwriting and moved onto reading out loud.  We read the book "There is a Nightmare in my closet."

Five-year-old Christopher firmly believes that there's a Nightmare hiding in his closet, but no one takes him seriously. Taking matters into his own hands, Christopher confronts his Nightmare and calms his fears. There are some very amusing twists and turns along the way and a surprise ending that you won't soon forget.

The students took turns reading out loud with emotion and feeling to depict the message in the words and images.  I find that using simple books and teaching how to read with feeling and emotion makes the students much better readers.

The students went to music with Mrs. Awalt where they worked on movement and rhythm.

Tour De Rock

After lunch we began with  silent reading followed by sharing.  E shared a drawing of her family that she had drawn on the weekend.

In Socials we studied the raven and his place as a cultural hero to the northwest first nations.  We talked about and read and watched a video on the Myth about how Raven stole the sun and brought light to the world.

Our Mailboxes

We ended the day with a desk clean.  It is quite amazing how much clutter children can create in a few weeks.

Please remember tomorrow the students probably only need a snack as they are dismissed before lunch.
