Each day the students are given, quiet, uninterrupted reading time to practise their reading and enjoy the books in the classroom library. Each student has a personal book box, where they store 5 books each week to read. Here is our Read to Self expectations:

We are now up to 8 minutes with everybody being successful. Our goal is to get to 15 minutes. This is a very enjoyable time every day and allows children the time they need to practise their skills.

We wrapped up pattern work this week in math. The students engaged in some different pattern centres where they were able to demonstrate their learning and have some fun!
Next week, we will begin working with numbers from 1- 10 including counting, number recognition, more and less, number conservation, number words and properly printing numerals.
