This is what we look like.


 Here are some more pictures of what's been going on in Area 24...

We practised reading some words with the 'e' sound in them. Here is a picture so that you can review them at home! Does your name have the French 'e' ("put") sound in it?? We are currently working on the sound 'i' (ee).

For our second art project, we went outside to collect some fallen leaves, then we painted them in fall colours and made prints on blank paper. Later, we cut out our leaves and turned them into trees! It makes a beautiful forest just outside our classroom!

Just before our Terry Fox day, we read a book about his life and talked about what he accomplished. We came up with four different sentences about Terry Fox and each student selected one to write on their shoe. You can see an example of each one below. What did your child write??





This is what we look like during independent reading time. We have been at 13 minutes for a few days, and we're working on being even more focused before we attempt 14!



This is what we look like when we play dominoes! This group was really good at taking turns.

This group ended up with a perfect rectangle and started a new game.

 This group was really focused on the game.

This group eventually made up a new game using the dominoes as cards.
