Authors Chair 1

Darcy shared his writing from his Write to Self Book with the class today.  He settled quickly to his writing and wrote for the whole write to self session.  Well done Darcy for using words from one of your reading books to write new words. 

Darcy's Picture

"This is a house and I am going to the zoo. There is a space ship flying in the sky. I have a garden ."
Darcy spent a long time drawing and adding detail to his picture he drew.  He was very proud of it and when some children saw him drawing they came and joined him and began to draw too.  What an expert you are Darcy and thank you for talking to the other children about your picture.

Independent Writing

 Today Darcy spent a long time working steadily in the writing corner. He wrote lots of letters that he copied from words and alphabets around him.

"At the top there is a D for Darcy, and there is an M for Mum and a B for Ben and an E for Esha (Darcy's dog)"





SUPER writing Darcy. You are working hard on your goal of writing lots of letters. 

Comparing Houses

On our Friday Surprise Day we have been looking at a variety of houses and what makes them similiar and what makes them different. Our buddy and I made a house out of playdough.  We didn't peek at our buddies house while we created them but when we finished we compared our houses.

"Darcy your one has a swimming pool. Mine has a swimming pool too but Darcy's swimming pool is big and mine is small."
 "My roof is a triangle shape and Mitchell's roof is a circle shape. They are different."
" I have lots of windows and Darcy's house just has one."

My Boat Challenge

Here is a picture of Darcy holding his boat. 

"I made it out of wood and paper for the sail. I used a stick to hold the sail. I made a hole to keep the stick on. I got a nail and banged it into the wood to make a hole. I stuck the stick into the hole.""

"The boat was floating on the blue water and then a wave came and it made the boat go under the water. Then the sail got wet and then it wouldn't sail. I had to go under the water to make it go."

Author's Chair

Today during Write To Self time, Darcy chose words he could read from his word card. 
He practiced writing "I" and "like". 
Here is a photo of Darcy sharing his fantastic learning on the Author's Chair with the rest of the class. 
Great work Darcy.
