Last week was so busy, and everyone is getting a cold, that I didn't get a chance to do the blog! Here are some highlights on our learning, and what we are focusing on.
We had a lovely picnic on Tuesday, and are we glad that we changed the day! The weather was so much better than the original day we planned for!
Our community walk to collect items from nature for our art creations was also a success! Thank you to the volunteers who made it possible for us to make it to the pond! The students found so many different items to use for their art, and created some pretty amazing pieces!
We also took some lovely group pictures, but I do not have consent to post all the students, so you will have to come in and see it! I will print and hang pictures of our class in our classroom!
In math we have continued measuring. Mrs. Tuff came and visited our class again, but unfortunately I did not have my camera handy when they were helping her measure herself again in our class! We are also starting to learn some card games! Did you know that all card games are math games?? We were surprised to learn this as well! Ask your student about the games War and Battle! They may not remember both of them, but they should be able to show you one of them.
We are continuing our inquiry on small crawling and flying critters. All students have now chosen their critters and we are beginning to collect information to put into our books. It is looking like a very exciting project!
In music we have been exploring different instruments. Ms. Thomas has so much information for us on different artists from the past! We love to groove to her music, and usually end up dancing down the hall back to our room after music class.
Library has been successful so far. We need to get into the habit of remembering to bring back our books on Thursday, so that we can all get out new books. We will try again this week.
We have read so many books!!! We just love all books, and wish we could read them all day, every day! We continue to read Charlotte's Web, and have been having great conversations about friendships, farms, and life in general. Ask your child about Charlotte and Wilbur!
We have been focusing on vowels right now, and how they can make long and short sounds. We have done an 'A' hunt around the classroom, and this week we will do 'E', and maybe 'I'. See if you can find long and short vowel sounds at home, or in your reading books.
This week is already shaping up to be a good one! We have the Terry Fox run on Thursday afternoon at 1:00. If you are able to volunteer please contact the front desk. We will also be collecting Toonies for Terri (or any amount you are able to offer). Please send in your donations all week.
Box of Cards Fundraiser began today. Your child has brought home a box today. please ask family and friends if they are interested. It is only $33 for 33 cards! If you are unable to sell any boxes, and you do not want to purchase the box, please send it back to the school.
Have a good week!
