A Great Week...so far...

Today we have early dismissal and we had indoor recess.  We did some writing.  I am going to read a chapter book. - Skylar

We are going to send our Flat stories and Flat Characters to our pen pals in University.  We are hoping they will write their own flat stories and make their own flat characters.  This morning we wrote a note to our pen pals in University.  - Evva

We wrote to our university pen pals and I hope you try making flat characters.  We will try our best for our university pen pals and then we will try to write to our university pen pals when we have their flat characters.  - M.

Today we had Wednesday Writing, but only some of us did it.  Also, we have been reading Howard B. Wigglebottom books.  Also, we just started our blog.  Almost everybody has brought a jar.  - A.

In our class, everybody has to bring a jar for an art thing we are doing.  We are going to send our Flat Characters to our university pen pals and we are hoping they can take a picture with them at their school so we can see what their school looks like.  We are hoping they will make their own flat stories and their own Flat Characters.  Our class has been reading Howard B. Wigglebottom books and we really like those books.  They are about a bunny who learns how to make good choices.  We are reading them so we know how to make some better choices.  We are also reading them because we are going to be Skyping with the author Howard Binkow.    - Ella

We wrote letters to Thailand.  We were reading Howard B. Wigglebottom books to learn to make better choices.   - Sierra

We wrote letters to Thailand.  Also we made flat characters and flat stories.  We also have been writing letters to our university pen pals.  They are going to write flat stories and flat characters too.  I am going to bring a jar, but not yet, I didn't bring a jar yet.  We have also been doing animal research.  We are reading Howard B. Wigglebottom books because we are Skyping with the author soon.  - Lara

Our class has been busy, as always.  We have an exciting visit happening on Friday morning in our classroom.  We are going to be having a classroom visit via Skype with the author of the Howard B. Wigglebottom books, Howard Binkow.  Hopefully we can ask him some questions about his books.  In math, the grade 1s are learning how to add and subtract.  The grade 2s are learning about place value and are bundling groups of ten.  We have started back to using Math Work Stations and soon I will have to add some different ones.  Tomorrow is a special day in our classroom.  There might be a surprise......Stay tuned!!! - Miss Matsumoto
