Highlights
Today we talked about how verbs are words that show action. We also started to work on the Reading Power
strategy of questioning. Good readers
actively wonder and ask questions while they are reading. We practiced asking questions while reading a
book about avalanches. During Math,
students were shown how to play an addition game called number twins on the
computer. Students can play this game at
home by going to:
-Click on “numbers” near the top of the page
-Scroll down to the section titled Addition/Subtraction. Click on “number twins”.
Students are invited to wear red
and white tomorrow to show support for the Calgary Stampeders who are playing
in the Grey Cup final this weekend.
