Congratulations to Sophia for being the Reading Star for today!

Sophia has finished an entire level on Raz Kids and earned 500 bonus points while moving up to the next level.

Writing Star - Term 1, Week 3

In sustained writing this week, we took our inspiration from the beautiful video Dreamgiver (found at http://www.literacyshed.com/the-fantasy-shed.html). 

The Week 3 Writing Star is Penny!  She wrote:

The Dream Giver came through the window and gave mum a dream.  As mum mumbled in her sleep she dreamt of Jesus.  Jesus was kneeling at the river.  Mum went over to him and talked to him.  He said, "Happy birthday."  Mum spent all night talking to him.  It was a wonderful dream. 

Spaghetti

The 2/3 class spent some time exploring spaghetti.  We found that before spaghetti is cooked it is stiff, hard, pointy, slightly bendable and straight - perfect for building towers with.  However, after spaghetti is cooked it is soft, flexible and curly - great for writing our names and playing tic-tac-toe with.

Morning Routine

Hi everyone!

When the Terrific 2/3s come in every morning they need to follow the Morning Routine.

Here are some of the things the 2/3s do each morning:

Jordan and Kate read using the Yellow Reading Box.

Joshua and Tyson play Pick-up Sticks.

Josie reads a book from the Reading Corner.

Beginning 2013!

This is Miss S checking in for the beginning of the 2013 school year.

This year I am teaching a class full of terrific year 2/3 students. 

I look forward to sharing some of the great work that they will produce this year!
