This past week we graduated a few more sight words, sounds and a reading strategy to the other side of our room, with Madeline as our ‘Master of Ceremonies’ (Bravo, Madeline!):

We also had many discussions on perseverance.

We played a game this week to help us work on our perseverance. The class was divided into two teams, one on each side of the room. Each student had a paper ball to throw onto the other side of the room. Each team was to try and have as few paper balls as possible on their side after one minute. This is a game that could be played outdoors using balls or at home with socks! 🙂

Check it out!

We also had discussions on what our own goals were for the year. We talked about how our goals could be school related or for home. Almost everyone was able to come up with something they were willing to persevere to achieve.

We are going to work hard this year to persevere and never give up to work towards achieving our goals!
