We read a few more Robert Munsch stories. I Have to Go! was a favorite for lots of us. Gianluca thought it was funny when Andrew wet his bed. Nolan liked the part where it took a half an hour to put on his snowsuit…and then Andrew had to go to the bathroom! Rebecca liked We Share Everything. She thought it was silly when they started fighting. Robert Munsch is Rebecca’s favorite author. He wants the reader to use lots of expression. He uses lots of bold print, exaggerated words, capital letters, italics, exclamation points, sound words, and word placement to tell the reader to say things in funny or angry ways. We listened to Robert Munsch reading some of the stories afterwards. He is a great storyteller. Many of his stories are available to listen to for free on his website.
We played Pig against Ms. Stern today. Ms. Stern won! The last two times that we played, we beat Mr. H. He said he’s going to win next time. Darren thinks he’s predictable because “he guesses that he’s going to win but he went down to the ground!”
In gym, we did centers. The centers all had to do with throwing, catching, or kicking: Cowabunga, balloons, soccer, jump rope/hula hoop, basketball, sit ups (Sean broke the school record…46 sit ups in 1 minute!), beach balls, playground balls, ball catchers, grab balls, basketball, dominoes, and numbered balls.
We worked on our non-fiction reading and writing. Lots of people now have enough facts and they are working on grouping them according to their topics. Next week we will continue to focus on making our research booklets.
Have a great weekend!
