Boo-Dee-Roo Wednesday

Good evening,

This morning we continued with directing each other through mazes, this time with compass directions. Here one child guides another through the maze, sans maze. Once the path is drawn, I am able to bring up the maze itself under the path to see if the directions were correct.


IWBs, eh? Try doing that on your white board. (Well, ok so you could do it with an OHP grid with the maze then overlaid on it...but this way is way more cool!)



Later on in the day White Group read The Boo-Dee-Roo.


(which I'll post once it's finished uploading...)

Last day of reading and writing interchange for the year tomorrow.

A-mazing Tuesday

Good afternoon,

This morning, after Room 2 had directed Galoop out of his maze...


...the children had to work out an easy maze, and then instruct a partner to draw a path through the maze onto a blank grid, and then compare the results. Too easy! So they were also given a harder one to solve and direct.



The weather being what it was (and still is), the children ate inside. Towards the end of lunch, I walked in to witness them playing a-game-called-something-about-a-dog-and-a-bone...


And a good time was had by all.

CU in the morning,

And a glorious afternoon it is too. Summer is here!

This morning, after morning tea...

And then a wee song back to school.

All In Thursday

Good afternoon,

This morning for during swimming the children learnt how to fall over backwards...
