Our grade 1s went on their neighbourhood walk this afternoon. They found ALL the places on their scavenger hunts and each student took a picture of their special place. I've already received most of the at-home research back from grade 1 students. Don't forget that it's due Tuesday - our next social studies day.
Today was exciting for our entire class because we met our grade 5/6 reading buddies. Mlle Bailey's class will be visiting us once a week (on days 2 and 7) to help us with our reading, and perhaps get us started on the ipads and laptops later on. Today, all grade 1/2 students read to their reading buddy, and chose a book to have read to them by their reading buddy. It was nice to see all students sitting beside their buddies, reading aloud but quietly and really enjoying the experience. Merci à la classe de Mlle Bailey!
I also congratulated the class today on all the recent borrow-a-book graduations that we've had. In just this last week - 5 days - we've had 10 graduations!! That's a record for any of my classes!! Keep up the great reading work!
