Sept 29

Yesterday we started with quiet reading.  We had music with Mr. Weins.  We did calendar and we practiced counting by 1's and by 10's.  We did Student of the Day.  We learned that Maxwell's favourite season is winter.  We learned how to print his name properly.  We wrote 3 sentences about him and drew a picture of him to add to our class books.  After lunch we did mindfulness then we had gym.  We did the Terry Fox Run.  We were very tired after running/walking for 30 minutes.  We think Terry fox is amazing for running all day!  We learned a little more about Orange Shirt Day and why we are honouring it.  We are doing a smudge tomorrow so we made our offering.  We drew a picture of ourselves having a good year or we wrote words like "happy", "healthy" or "good year" on a small piece of paper.  We added those good thoughts to our offering pouch.  We each got 3 sets of 10 blocks in 3 different colours.  We used the blocks to make different patterns.  Some of them were very tricky!  We had some free tome to build woth our blocks.

Today we started by making a "Every Child Matters" bracelet.  We had quiet reading.  We went outside a did a smudge with the whole school.  We listened to a "morning song" and the story of Phyllis Webstad who started Orange Shirt Day.  We talked about Care for Place and we brainstormed ways that we show it at school.  We wrote how we show Care for Place.  Care for Place goes with spirit on our medicine wheel because it makes our spirit happy when we take care of our environment.  We coloured some "Every Child Matters" pictures during mindfulness.  In gym we worked on kicking and trapping balls with a partner.  We did a pattern activity where we had to colour the patterns that were listed.  Then we could colour our own pattern.  We made a bar graph of the weather we had in September.

There is no school tomorrow - National Truth and Reconciliation Day

Friday is the last day to bring donations for the Terry Fox Foundation.

 Yesterday we started with quiet reading.  We changed our library books.  We did calendar and we practiced adding and subtracting.  We learned about the letter W.  We talked about the sound it makes and we brainstormed words that start with W.  We practiced printing it on our whiteboards and in our printing books.  We drew and labelled pictures that start with W and some of us wrote sentences that have W words in it. 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.
