I hope everyone had a great long weekend.

For No Excuse Words today we made our own word finds.  Here is the one we made as a class:

For Word Work we began learning about digraphs.  Digraphs are two letters combine to form a completely new sound.  Todays digraphs were ch and sh.

In Language Arts we read the story Angela's Airplane by Robert Munsch:

As a reader response the students were given the following prompt:  If I could fly an airplane I would fly to...  When writing they had to include where they would go, why they would go there and 2 things they would do once they got there.  They definitely had some fun destinations in mind!

After lunch today, our Apple School Coordinator Mrs. Zielke came in to make healthy snacks with the kids.  Check out the pics below:

Also, here is the recipe the kids used to make their snack:

In Math we continued with addition and subtraction review with mixed up addition and subtraction questions.  Kids often forget to check the symbol when they are doing math problems, which leads to errors.  When working with your child at home, always have them read the problem aloud before doing it, to ensure they are doing the right kind of operation.  Here is a website where you can practice mixed up addition and subtraction at home.
