Dear fantastic parents,
This week:
* We did outdoor ed. We did a scavenger hunt in Oaklands Green in outdoor ed. today. We were looking for nature we could study. We also played "Everybody's It" tag.
* We had gym this week. We played "Disco Tag" yesterday. We also started to learn how to play "Alley Ball" on Monday. In gym on Thursday D.P. showed us her new wheelchair. This chair is special because she can control it with her head. It was amazing! We are also going to do gym this afternoon.
* Mr. Marta read us a story called If Sarah Will Take Me. The story was about a guy who fell off a balcony and hurt his neck. After, he had to go in a special wheelchair because he couldn't use his arms and his legs. He loved art, but he couldn't do it anymore. He wanted to go places but he couldn't get there. His nurse took him to all the places and introduced him to mouth painting. We used markers to draw with our mouth. It was VERY hard. His paintings are amazing!
* We did writing this week. On Monday we had a substitute teacher during writing. Mrs. Marta is doing writing conferences with us and helping us make our new writing goal.
* We have been doing finishing to catch up on our work. If we aren't done our finishing on Monday we will have to work on it during "Brain Bin" time. People who are finished all of their work are helping other people. You aren't supposed to tell them the answers, just help them.
* In chess this week we learned to castle. You move the King and the Rook in the same turn. You are switching their places. After Mr. Churchill teaches us how to play, we get to play chess.
* In art we made "Reindeer at the Window". We made the reindeer out of construction paper. You can see them through the window of our classroom.
* In Social Studies we are learning about culture in Canada. We added arts and customs and food.
* We do reading every day except on Wednesday we do it without Mr. Marta's class.
* Next Wednesday we are going to watch The One and Only Ivan movie with Mr. Marta's class. We are very excited to watch it!
From,
Mrs. Marta's amazing students
