Leaf art and science journaling

We spent some time today looking at the leaves we collected yesterday. Students had to choose 5 leaves that were special to them and record that in their science journals.

After they finished, they used the rest of their leaves to create some leaf art!

Looking for fall leaves

For science today, we talked about all the different kinds of leaves we see in the fall. Students brainstormed what they wanted to look for and we went outside. Tomorrow we will make some observations about our leaves and use them for an art project.

Our pattern trees have added some fall colours to our class walls!

Word work

Today we started looking at different ways to practice our letters and star words. We used whiteboards, pipe cleaners, foam letters and wood pieces to build our words. 

Also, check out the circle patterns we made with our beautiful stuff!

Text to Self Connections

Our school theme this year is looking at "What is my dream?".

Today, we read a book about a little girl's dream and then made some Text to Self Connections. That means that students can think of something they have experienced in their life that relates to the book we are reading. This is an important part of becoming a 'super reader'!

We also voted on where to hang our 2 class dreamcatchers - stay tuned for some student created ones coming in the next few weeks!
