Today was a nice start to the week. I was greeted with a bag of 40 friendship bracelets that I was told were for me, put 2 on right there and am excited about having more for everyday until Christmas. Had the opportunity to read with a few of the kids today and saw some great growth. We practiced "tuning in" to new words with the book, "Bartholomew Biddle and the Very Big Wind"by Gary Ross. It is a fantastic book about a boy who uses his bed sheet and the wind to travel around. All written in rhyme it is fun to read and has some really great vocabulary. Skating continued today and the kids really love it. We practiced finding unknown variables in math (who knew that was a grade 3 skill???) and the kids did great and finished our day talking about building bridges which we will be starting this week. Tomorrow I am going to school to learn more ways to help inspire Mathamagicians and then back to work Wednesday to try some new stuff out with the kids. 9 days until Christmas holidays. Time FLIES when you are having fun!!!!
Cheers;
