Sept. 3

Yesterday we started with catch up and play dough time.  We did calendar.  We practiced our Days of the Week and Months of the Year Songs.  We practiced making our own patterns on our whiteboards (we each have a whiteboard that we keep in our desk).  We listened to a story called "Our Class is a Family".  We played on the playground at recess.  We started working in our printing books.  We started with some pre-printing lines and shapes.  We practiced the lines and shapes on our whiteboards then we practiced printing them in our printing books.  We finished this work after lunch.  We played tag in gym.  After gym we learned some mindfulness breathing activities.  After recess we started folding some paper for a guided drawing activity.  We will start the drawing part tomorrow.

Today our day started with some quiet reading time.  We did a really good job during quiet reading.  We did calendar and practiced sorting shapes.  We did a math activity where we cut and glued numbered ducks in order from 1 to 10.  Some of us used rulers to help us recognize the order of the numbers.  We had gym outside.  We had music outside with Mr. Weins.  We continued working on our guided drawing activity.  We are doing a self portrait of ourselves.  When the paper is folded we are wearing our masks.  When it is unfolded we can see our smile.  We did the face with a mask part today and we will continue with the rest next week.

We have had a good first week of school.  If your child does not have inside shoes, please send some as soon as possible.  We are working on taking bathroom breaks at appropriate times and not waiting until it is an emergency.  We are only allowed to send one boy and one girl out at a time.  

We are bringing a Digital Citizenship form home today.  Please read it over with your child, sign it and return it to me next week.  We use technology (usually iPads) in the classroom for literacy and math activities.  If we do not have the signed Digital Citizenship form for you child, they will not be able to use it.

No School on Monday - Labour Day

Have a great weekend!

 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. 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 ...
