The Weeks are Flying By

It has been a busy week in Room 2. The snow finally arrived, we learned about the element of line in art, Walking Wednesday took us through the community, Ms Gauvreau was in our room for our writing residency and the Dinos were up to some pretty funny adventures!

We have had a guest in our room working with us on our writing journey. I am so proud that the kids in grade one see themselves as writers and readers. We will be making a counting book about dinosaurs as the Dinos have been a great source of inspiration for our writing this month. During our writing residency, other teachers joined us to watch the process with Ms Gauvreau leading the way. We were so lucky to be a host class with Ms G. The Dinos liked her too. They even snuck into Ms Gauvreau's bag and went home with her one night!
