This week, we were so lucky to have out practicum teacher, Miss McCleary, begin in our classroom. She is kind and helpful, and the students love showing her all the things they can do, telling her stories, and making her pictures.
In literacy, we worked on the letters Qq and Rr. Lowercase q gave some of us difficulty when printing. A Qq word we talked lots about was quilt. Many students thought they had a quilt in their house. In math, we continued working on patterns. We've been going hard on 3 element patterns and trying to use proper pattern language such as element and core. We also started out modified parent-teacher conferences this week. We switched to phone meetings this year instead of conducting the meetings in person. So far, using the phone, along with pictures and documents on Google Drive has worked well. These will continue through next week. What a crazy winter storm! All this snow has brought much of Swift Current to a halt. Monday, all schools were closed in the entire school division. I heard this was the first time this has happened since the 1970s. The rest of the week saw schools open, but with buses cancelled and many people still snowed in. Having buses cancelled for an entire week is also unheard of! This was definitely a weather event for the history books! With Remembrance Day happening on Wednesday, we had a short, 3 day week that saw lots of absences and just a strange week overall. We did have lots of fun playing in the snow at recess though.
