A New Year, A New Class and a Continuing Blog Journey

February 8, 2013 · 2 Comments · In The Classroom, Mrs S, Spelling

The new school year has just started here in Tasmania. We have been back at school for four days. Our books are sorted and many of the class are busy helping cover their books ready to fill them with work.

We have shared stories about our holidays, started exploring some interesting mathematical challenges and created some great artwork. Mrs S purchased some posters online that listed the parts of a reader, mathematician and a writer. We used these as inspiration for the cover of our Word of the Week books. We brainstormed ideas for the parts of a speller and Mrs S created some labels based on our suggestions. We drew ourselves on the cover of our books and added the labels to inspire us during the year. Take a look at some of them in our Animoto below.

 

How would you describe the parts of a speller? What do we use our mind, eyes, ears, mouth and hands for when we spell? What are the tools of a speller? Please leave us a comment letting us know.

    Hello Class,

    So this is my new class blog.
    It’s great! Hopefully I can get as attached as I did with Mr Price’s 2012 class blog. Also yes lots of work yet to come :) . I had fun making those parts of a speller things,they really got us thinking.

    If you want to see my work skip to 48 seconds forward and mine is in the middle.
    I thought that it was a good idea to put a dictionary in the tools bit.

    I have seen that my blog is up as one of the links and I just wanted to say thank you. This is probably one of the reasons I have been getting so many visitors and comments.

    Kind Regards Sabastian
