The Mirror Game

At the end of the day we did a little drama. The game we played was called the mirror game.  To play this game one person makes slow movements and the person across from them is their mirror.  When you are a mirror you have to follow the movements that your partner is making just like a mirror would. It was fun.  Ms.Lirenman tells us she has many more drama games to teach us.  Here are some pictures of us playing the mirror game.

Where do you like to write?

Ms. Lirenman lets us work where ever we want in the classroom.  Look where some of us headed today.

What are some of the interesting places that you have worked?

Word Problems in Words, Pictures, and Numbers

On Wednesdays we lend out our iPads to Mrs. Morrison's grade one class next door.  So instead of having our math choice stations we created our own math stories.  First we wrote a story, then we drew the story, and finally we answered the story with a math number sentence.

Here are a couple of our  stories.

Rain Poems

Today is Victoria Day in Canada so we don't have school.  People are still thinking about us though because today we received a very special  voice messages from Mrs. D's kindergarten class in Vermont.  Please take the time to enjoy their poems about rain.  Ms. L certainly did.

A Lost Voice Message

Back in December we received a voice message from Ms. Lirenman's friend Mrs. Reid.  Some how that voice message never left Ms. L's iPod and it is only now that she's realizing this. Yikes!  Here is the message we received from Mrs. Reid. Better late than never right?

What's So Special About this Photo?

Today while Yaksh was reading this book Eldon turned to his friends and said, "you know if you cover the e in the word planets you get the word plants". We were all so impressed with what he noticed especially because right now we are learning about plants. What word discoveries have you made lately?

Writing Our Friends in Guatemala

Today we wrote letters to our new friends in Guatemala.  Did you know that Guatemala is in Central America?  Before we started writing we talked about some of the things we thought our new friends would want to know about us.  Then with many ideas in our heads we started to write our letters.  As you can see by the pictures we like to write all over our classroom.  We are excited to send our letters to them but we are just as excited to receive their letters for us too.  When we both get each others letters we are going to Skype with them so we can meet them through the computer.  We can't wait!
