A week in review

We have been so busy that we have not had time to post.  Here is our week in review:

Monday - We learned about what fair means in our class.  Fair is not always the same as equal and it is not getting what you want, but getting what you need.  We had Art with Mr. Moore for the first time this year.

Tuesday - We went to the Library and checked out books!  We talked about finding a special spot at home to keep books and how to protect them in our backpacks so that they do not get wet or ruined.

Wednesday -  We had our first fire drill.  We will be quick, calm and quiet.  We learned about how to pick good fit books.  When selecting books, we need to think about our interests, purpose for reading and how well we can read and understand the book.  We talked about the Five Finger rule.  We started practicing Read to Self.  We are building stamina for reading.  We started with 5 minutes.

Thursday -  We wrote and illustrated our idea of why we like to read.  Many students like to read as a way to calm down or relax.  We also learned a few more games that we can play during indoor recess.

Friday - We had our first assembly!  It was awesome!  We learned about our constitution, flag as well as Bengal Pride expectations.  BLAZE even made an appearance!  We also wrote our first entry in our Symbol book.

Next week we will start giving Bengal Pride Tickets when we see students demonstrating Bengal Pride.

A perfect example of Read to Self
