We read lots stories this week and talked about the fact that words and pictures together make for the best stories. We used this information to help us write and draw about our families.
We also read a story about a box that was not a box. We decided to play a game and see how many things a square (carré) could be. It turns out that we had lots of ideas about that. We ended up writing a class book to show all the different things a square could be (a yo-yo, a dinosaur, a present, a cat.....).
We has a few problems to solve this week. Lots of people in our class were having trouble coming back from recess on time and putting away materials after playtime. We were also taking a long time to get dressed to go outside because we were busy talking to our friends. Those who were ready were feeling frustrated. We sat down and tried to come up with a plan to solve the problem. We decided that those who were ready would get more playtime when it was possible. We also reminded ourselves that we are a team and as a team we need to all work together so we can be successful and happy.
We also talked about what we would like to learn next. Most people were interested in learning about cold weather animals so we will be talking about them next week.
