Travel Journals

Thank you to all of the children and families that have completed a Travel Journal on their adventures. The children in our class love to hear about new places and experiences, and of course to see your pictures! So far this year we have collected over 10 travel journals for our classroom library!

During sharing time in our classroom we have been looking at "Manifest Your Magnificence" cards to help us talk about our experiences. Yesterday we came across this one:

Perfect timing!

Room 2 Travels the World!

This winter many of the children in our classroom took trips to destinations all over the world! Here is a Google Map of some of the places we've visited!

Spring has Sprung!

Hello Room 2 Followers! It's been far too long since our last post. March was an incredibly busy month for us and we just didn't find the time to blog about it. Here's the short version of our month:

We were busy getting ready for our student-led conferences and preparing our portfolios. All of the kids in our class did a wonderful job of sharing their learning, explaining their thinking and celebrating their many successes.


We spent lots of time working on our community inquiry project this month. We connected with people all over the world on our wiki (http://www.outourclassroomwindow.wikispaces.com/ ). They shared information and pictures about their communities and answered some of our many questions.

We continued our work with our reading partners and book clubs... we think chapter books are awesome! We even made 2 videos about our reading workshop time.

In writing workshop, we were learning about being poets. We made a poetry anthology that we shared with our families at conferences. We'll post some samples to the blog soon... we'd love to hear what you think!

Ms. Rosney finished her student teaching term with us. We were all sad to see her go and we hope that she comes back to visit us before the end of the year!

Keep watching for new posts this week... we have a lot to share with you and love to see your comments!

We also did a community project. There was 4 community's. Ther were Halifax,Calgary,vancouver and Chicago.Chicago's nickname is the windy city. We have to answer questions about our community. We also had a number of the day checklist. For exaple if you drawed a picture in your number of the book any where you put the number & show an exaple. There was number sentences too. We got to go to the computer lab & type our poems. Tomorrow we have a day off!!!!! Whoo hoo!!! We
