What happened in Room 208 on Tuesday?

 With a few students away today and wanting to keep everyone on the same page, here's a quick glance at some of the main tasks we looked at today. Where possible, I've linked to past blog posts to provide supporting information. 

• During Morning Message, we had a class meeting about how we're feeling right now. We all agreed we're doing a great job at following the safety protocols, and that we're really noticing how different school is this year.  We're going to make this an ongoing conversation and find ways to stay safe, but still make lots of great memories together.  
• We reviewed our Text of the Week (TOTW) by reading it into our whisper-phones and paying attention to the italics in the poem. We had fun talking about which of the activities we'd most love to see! 
• We also talked about what it means to infer. We looked at ways authors communicate messages in a manner that requires us readers to read between the lines. 
• In Math, we began memorizing how to count by threes! There's a song for that in the top right hand corner of the blog (see Math Songs).
• We also used our PlayDoh to help us solve the problem pictured below.  
• The day ended with Wow Tags and a few minutes of reading from our class novel, There's a Boy in the Girl's Washroom (that Bradley character really has us talking!) 

We'll add some creative writing to this Math poster by writing what Pirate Pete might 

be thinking as he rows his way to the island!
