On Monday I won't be in class as I am attending an ipad course (using the ipad as an educational tool) . Mrs Clark will be in Room 7 on Monday, Rebecca is a lovely teacher whom the children have met before. Mrs Clark used to teach at Greytown School & is now a reliever.
Thank you for coming to your child's goal setting. I look forward to seeing the goals being reached.
We ended Friday with a quick Golden Time where the children played the chocolate game.
As you can see by the photos the children had FUN!

Library day - is THURSDAY - 98% of the children remembered to have their books last Thursday - yippee i o! They are just fab-ulous!!!!!
I forgot to mention the last 2 SHARP winners...Grace for having Pride in her work & Ruby L for showing Respect. Ruby L chose the SHARP reward of 30 minutes free laptop/ipad time with a friend. And Grace has chosen NO HOMEWORK for a week =) It's pretty hard to pick 1 SHARP student per week as I could have at least 29 =) I do award certificates throughout the week for a little show & tell of the childrens work. Lots of children have gone up in their basic facts - so that's just awesome! THANKS to the fantastic Jenni Lambert who comes in on Friday mornings & helps to test the children on their basic facts..I try to do a large lot of testing on Thursday - it depends how we're going.
We started writing our next descriptions on the laptops - a lot of learning here...1. Typing on the laptops (word processing, font size, titles etc...) 2. Saving to the server or memory stick. Look at these busy bees:
 Cuddles our class rabbit has been having some EXCITING times at the children's houses = FANCY DANCY going up in a hot air balloon the other day when he stayed at Archie L's house! And an email picture of Cuddles eating out of a fancy named bowl at the Parker Boys house - gee Cuddles you lead a more exciting life than me. And then - staying at Sam's house - pirates & carrots & all:   Here's a couple of websites that the children have been using in class & enjoy: Wacky Web is a fun writing tool - I use it with my own daughter (to write & read). Wacky Web Tales - for fun writing using parts of speech Freerice - which has maths & English (good for vocab help) http://freerice.com/#/basic-math-pre-algebra/16879 Have a great weekend - and I will see you on Tuesday.
