Reading Buddies by Emma A terrific Tuesday in grade two!  Students are coming into the room when they get here in the morning and starting their routine immediately without anyone even telling them!  What a great group!  Our spelling word today was "octopus".  We learned whenever we hear a "KA" sound like in the first syllable of octopus, and we arent sure which letter to use, we should use the letter C, because most times it is a "C" not a "K" that makes the sound.  We worked on an introduction for "How to Eat an Octopus".  We doodled a horse again.  They looked much better today, and we were much quicker.  We also took some time to score our sheets.  We went outside and loaded onto the bus for our School Bus Safety, and practiced our evacuation in case of an emergency.  In math we worked on pattern rules for increasing patterns and worked on single digit addition.  After recess we had language arts with Mrs. Hill.  We played some spelling games, made words, and talked about slowing down an pausing at comma's.   After lunch we had guidance with Mrs. Mackenzie.  We talked about being thankful.  Then we had PE with Mrs. Hache.  Which animal did you like pretending to be the most when you escaped from your zoo cage?  We finished off the day with a quick desk clean to stay organized and did our books of gratitude.  What did you enjoy most about your day today?  Have a great night and get lots of rest. I will see you in the morning!
