Applesauce!!!!

We made applesauce today!  First we had to cut the apple skin off and then we put it in the crockpot. We put cinnamon and some sugar on it.  We tasted it at the end of the day.  Some people had thumbs down but most people gave it a thumbs up! We even gave a cup to Mrs. Q-W and she was surprised that we made it.  We had lots of visitors to our room because it smelled so GOOD!

The Terry Fox Run

We had the Terry Fox run today.  We ran around Emerson Lake and some kids ran around Emerson Lake TWO times! Senator Riley school was running too.  The kids were all high fiving us!  We had a quick school assembly before we went!  In the assembly, we watched a Terry Fox video. Terry Fox is special and important.  He raised money for cancer research. We had a warm up dance of That's What Makes You Beautiful.

More Apples...

The TD bank gave every kid in Alberta a new book today.  Let's read it together!
Today, we tasted red, yellow and green apples. Red apples were the most popular for tasting. The yellow ones were called Golden Delicious apples. We sorted apples. We sorted by colours and sizes. The apples were fragile! On Friday, we are going to make applesauce!
We went to library and picked out two books. We went to gym and played a game.

Bring a Toonie for Terry!

Apples, apples, apples....

We need to bring an apple for tomorrow.  We are going to count them and sort them. We read a book called 10 Apples on Top by Dr. Suess. We made a math picture with apples on our head.  
We had morning meeting today.  We had to tell one thing we have seen in the fall.  Ask me what my answer was.
We had music and gym today.

Remember to bring a Toonie for Terry on Thursday!

Shiver Me Letters!

We went outside for gym to play!
We used the iPads for printing practice. We used the app Wet-Dry-Try.

We did calendar.  We count how many days we've been in school.  We've been to Grade 1 for 16 days!

We are rocking our literacy centers!

Under Mrs. Saunderson's desk is a great place to read!

Matching sight words!

It's Dot Day!

We wore dots!

We counted dots!

We ATE dots.

We made our own mark!

International Dot Day is about a book called The Dot. Vashti slammed a pencil to make a dot. She didn't think she could draw.  The teacher studied it and the teacher asked her to sign it.  She knew she could draw!  1 Saunderson made our OWN dots on the iPads.  We counted Rocket dots and then we ATE them. Some people wore dots on their clothes and body!  
We played nicely today.  We subitized on the iPads.  We went to music.  Poor Mrs. Haney is still sick, so we had Mrs. M again. We had outside gym.

BOOK ORDER went home today and it is due next Thursday.  More information about hot lunch went home, too!

Our class mission statement

We wrote our class mission statement today.  It is a promise about our class.  We traced our hands and put them on the side of our mission statement.  That means we promise to do the right thing.  We promise to be proactive and we synergize together.  We keep our hands to ourselves even outside. We do the right thing EVEN when no one is watching.  We are nice and we are in charge of us!  We play nicely!  We do not run in the hallway.
We went to library today.  We even had centers.
