Mrs. Walter’s Class

To culminate our mystery unit, the students have written a mystery story. They incorporated the elements of a mystery:
Begining: An interesting lead and an introduction to the detective and the problem to solve
Middle: The detective investigating the problem – suspects, clues, unexplained events, and distractions (red herrings) 
End: The detective solves the mystery

Another mysterious visitor came and read the class a very interesting detective story.

The class was once again visited by a mysterious person who read a great detective story and shared treats. The class though the visitor looked suspiciously like Cameron’s mom.

The students encountered a real mystery when the flowers from the library went missing. They used their detective books to record notes, placed markers beside important clues, and interrogated suspects. In the end, they determined it was Mrs. Edwards who had “borrowed” the flowers.

Our class was surprised when a mysterious person arrived in our classroom. The person, dressed suspiciously like a detective, read a detective story and shared intriguing treats. Who was this unknown reader?

Mysteries intrigue readers to piece together clues and predict the solution. As we read books from the Cam Jansen series and the A to Z Mysteries series, the students must hone their powers of observation and read with keen interest – as not to miss a valuable clue!

The students are blogging their predictions, clue analysis, and other detective notes as they progress through a mystery novel. Click on a student’s name to the right to participate as an armchair detective. Can you follow the clues to solve the mystery?

It’s an Easter egg-stravaganza in the Grade 2/3 classroom!

The Grade 2/3 class began our new unit of study “Tricksters” with a visit from a leprechaun. Although unseen, the playful trickster left our classroom in disarray and a trail of gold chocolate coins.

What an exciting introduction to trickster tales and the customs of St. Patrick’s Day!

Rhythm and rhyme, similes and metaphors, alliteration and onomatopoeia, wonderful new words all contribute to the delight students have found in our Poetry Unit.
