Sept 26

 On Thursday we started with quiet reading and catch up time.   We did calendar and we practiced counting in different ways.  We worked on the letter D today.  We watched/listened to songs about the letter D and we brainstormed words that start with D.  We practiced printing the capital D and lowercase d on our whiteboards and in my printing books.  We drew pictures and labelled them.  We did mindfulness activities and we practiced for the Terry Fox run in gym.  We took a closer look at the leaves that have changed colour and fallen in the school yard.  We brought in a leave and did a quick leaf rubbing.  We made Chicka Chicka Boom Boom coconut trees out of paper and we added the letters of our name.

Today we started with quiet reading and we changed the books in our book bins.  We did calendar and we practiced our counting songs.  We watched a video that talked about what the word "indigenous" means and how to use it.  We talked a little about orange Shirt Day.  We worked on the letter F today.  We talked about what sound it makes. We brainstormed words that start with F and we practiced printing it on our whiteboards and in our printing books.  We drew pictures of things that start with F and we labelled them.  In math we did the last page of our printing books.  We got to make our own pattern and label it.  We learned more about Terry Fox and talked about why he is a hero.  We are encouraged to bring "a toonie for Terry" tomorrow if we haven't donated online.

For those of you who couldn't see/hear the Admin video during Meet the Teacher night here is the link: https://youtu.be/P0mMuCctFO0

The Terry Fox run is tomorrow!  Please send any donations with your child.  We are bringing home a sticker "Terry ran for me.  I run for____".  If you would like your child to wear it for the run you can fill in a name of someone your child is running for (it can be Terry Fox if you like).  Send it back to school tomorrow and we will put them on when we do the run.

Wednesday is Orange Shirt Day.  We will be doing a smudge with the whole school (distanced, outside).  We encourage all children to wear orange shirts on this day if possible to honour indigenous people who went to residential school.  For more information you can go to:

Thursday September 30 we will be observing National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.  There is no school on this day.

We did mindfulness and we practiced our sounds.  In math we worked on the number 12.  We talked about different ways to represent 12 including making addition sentences.  We did a listening game in Science.  We listened to different sounds and tried to identify them.

 Yesterday we started by watching a Alphablocks video.  We did calendar and we practiced drawing shapes.  We counted the sides and vertices of the shapes.  We did literacy centers.  We had indoor recess since it was so cold outside.  We learned about the letter C.  We talked about the 2 sounds it makes and we brainstormed words that begin with C.  We practiced printing it on our whiteboards and in our printing books.  We drew and labelled pictures and some of us wrote sentences with C words in them.  After lunch we finished our C work.  We played floor hockey in gym and we had another indoor recess.  We wrote our numbers as high as we can go (or filled in missing numbers if we can write our numbers correctly to 100).  We did Mathletics and Raz Kids on the iPads. Today was pyjama and stuffie day.  We were very excited!  We shared our quiet reading books with our stuffie.  We did calendar and we practiced our ...
