Work Choice Reinforcements
My father is a geologist and when he was living in Alberta many years ago he found dinosaur bones. He mailed them to me last week from New Brunswick and I brought them in to share with the class! These bones have been dated back to Cretaceous period and are >64 million years old!

Grade 1 sight word ring.
Grade 2 verb grammar box.
Literature circles
The grade 2 and 3 students will continue with their literature circles this week. We’ve gotten off track a little bit with the weeks being a tad wonky; however we will be meeting on Friday morning this week to discuss. Hopefully this will get us back on track!
Author study
We read “I Want My Hat Back”, by Jon Klassen last Wednesday. I absolutely love these books. We will read his two other books this week and we will be discussing his style of writing and illustrating. The students will be introduced to the concept of comparing and contrasting and the similarities and differences between the three books.
Culture
This week we will be studying each planet in more detail and working on our space logbooks. This will give us the information and details needed for us to be able to design and create our own planets in the weeks to come! The students will have the opportunity to be creative while also incorporating the knowledge and information gained from our in-depth solar system and planet study.
