In our classroom, we do a lot of reading. We read to ourselves, we read all together and we listen to good readers read. We also read to our friends. This is what that looked like today.

For the next 25 days, our class will be looking after 30 pheasant eggs. If all goes as we hope, we should be able to watch some of them hatch before the long weekend in May. All of the children get a day to help turn the eggs, so excitement is running high!
Bunches of Bunnies
The finished products from our craft activity yesterday. The bunnies even come out of their basket. Thanks Sandra, Donna and Dianne!!
We are now on spring for ten days, so Happy Easter!
Easter Crafting
Listening to Our Hearts
What does our heart sound like? This week we got to find out!
Rhyming
Kim Cooper Skyped into our classroom today to help the students learn to hear rhymes in text. She read a rhyming book and asked the students to tell her the words on each page that rhymed. It was tricky, but the students got better at hearing the rhymes as the book progressed.
Geometric Shapes
Lots of geometry learning has been happening in our classroom lately.
First, playing Guess My Shape with a classmate…
Then the same game with 3D shapes…
And today, we played the game with Ms Lirenman’s class via Skype.
Lots of great conversations using terms like curved, flat, edges and corners.
