We have graduated from doing word wall words. So, instead, we did Daily 5 and a journal writing about our weekend.
This afternoon we continued to practice our double digit subtraction skills. We are improving!
One of the City of Calgary Libraries came to visit us today to talk about their summer reading program. It is totally free to get a card and go over the summer. There are also a couple challenges being offered. If we read so much and ask so many questions, we can earn a prize. One prize is being the leader of the library for an entire day!
To end off the day we learned about the history of Father's Day, because as you know, that special day is coming up soon. Here is what we learned:
-a long time ago, a girl thought that dad's should be honored the same way mother's are.
-it is tradition to wear a rose for our fathers on this day; a red rose means that our father is still alive, and a white rose means that our father has passed away.
-we don't just have to celebrate our dad, we can also celebrate grandpas, uncles, step-dads, and brothers
Reminders:
-Tomorrow is zoo day!! If you are a parent volunteer, please be here by 8:45am. If you are a student who has not yet returned the form, please do so or you cannot come!!
-Quite a few library books have been returned, these will be handed in, a new list will be printed out, and notes will be coming home tomorrow. Please continue to check at home just in case.
