Dec 17

 Yesterday we started with catch up time and quiet reading.  We did virtual carol singing with the rest of the school.  We did calendar.  We talked about how some indigenous cultures celebrate the winter solstice.  We worked on the letter E.  We learned about two of the sounds it makes and we brainstormed words that start with E.  We practiced printing it on our whiteboards and in our printing books.  We drew and labelled words that start with E and some of us wrote sentences with E words in them.  We played floor hockey in gym.  We had literacy centers then we started an art project.  We drew a mitten, then we decorated it with pastels.  Tomorrow we will do a "wash" with watercolour paint.

Today we had our Pillars of Care assembly.  Congratulations to this months winners.  They are:

Care for Others:  Zayan - For picking up lost items and returning them to their owner.

Care for Learning: Addison - For being an all around great learner.  She works hard to complete all assignments to the best of her ability.  She is always quiet at her desk and she never distracts others.

Care for Place: Lea - For helping to keep our classroom clean and  for keeping her desk tidy.

Care for Self: Michael - For remembering to take care of his body and doing what he needs to do to keep it hydrated. 

Pillar of the Month: Sophia - For fitting into our classroom so nicely.  She has easily made friends and plays with many children.

We had our word review. Please continue practicing all word wall words. We had literacy centers and we did our December weather graph. We finished our mitten art.

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday. See you on Jan. 4th.
