Today we started with quiet reading and we changed our book bins.  We watch some of Canada's medal winning performances at the Olympics.  We did calendar and we practiced counting in different ways.  We did a sharing circle.  We did literacy centers and word work.  We have new word wall words.  They are:

Group A: they, yes, big, no maybe ("big" has a word family)

Group B: what, she, chip, cat, with, will ("will" and "chip" have word families)

Group C: own, towel, flower, know, snowplow

Group D: Yy, Oo, you, on, the (we are doing "the" again because the children had trouble with this word)

Our word review is on Friday.  Please practice the words with your child.  After lunch we did mindfulness and we changed our home reading books.  We had gym.  We worked on our "snowman at work".  We wrote about the job our snowman does.

We will be doing a "sit spot" activity on Thursday.  This is part of our journey in learning about the indigenous ways of knowing.  We will be sitting outside and using ours senses to connect with the land.  The weather is suppose to be nice all week and the ground should be dry but we are still asking that the students wear snow pants on Thursday so they can sit comfortably on the grass.  We will be doing this activity for about 10 minutes.

Mr. Hebert sent out his February Principals message last week.  He has decided that we will not be able to exchange Valentines.  Please see his message for more information.

Parents – just a reminder that our patrollers are on duty each morning in rain, snow, and fine weather (We do not patrol on blue days).  Could you please wait until they call, ‘Point, double-check, and proceed,’ before making your way between the pylons and safely across the street.   

 

Patroller schedules were sent home today! Please ensure your children are familiar with their day and time. We are only doing morning patrols for now. Please arrive at 7:45 am, get ready, be on the crosswalk with your team at 7:50 am. Shifts end just after 8:00 then students will head to class. Subs should also be on time in case they are needed! 

 

Please also be aware of our parking guidelines. 

They are: 

-no parking for any length of time in the bus zone!  

-no parking within 5 metres of a stop sign or cross walk or corner of 2 streets (Tell them they should be able to take 5 large steps between their vehicle and any of these)  

-stay out of the staff parking lot 

 

Thank you as well to our Patrol parents who ensure our students arrive on time to volunteer.  It’s greatly appreciated!

 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. Today we started with quiet reading.  We did calendar.  We filled in missing letters in our morning message.  We practiced counting in different ways.  We finished the listening game that we started yesterday.  We learned about how ...

 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 ...
