March 18

 Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day.  We started with quiet reading and catch up time.  We did calendar.  We watched the Jump Rope for Heart event day video.  We had literacy centers.  We did a making words activity.  We used the letters i, c, k, r, s and t to make 2, 3, 4 and 5 letter words.  We used all the letters to make the secret word.  After lunch we did mindfulness and we changed our home reading books.  We did a mindfulness sit spot outside.  When we came in we drew a picture of what we could see, hear, feel or smell and wrote about it. We learned about the order of colours in the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple).  We made our own rainbows by using ripped paper.  We did a St. Patrick's Day graph and/or a St. Patrick's Day word family activity when we were finished.

Today we started by finishing our rainbows.  We had our Pillars of Care assembly.  Our winners this month are:

Care for Others: Kaylee - she is always kind to others in the classroom and on the playground.

Care for Learning: Maya  - she works hard to complete all tasks to the best of her ability.

Care for Place: Artyom - he helped clean up a mess that wasn’t his without being asked.

Care for Self: Kiara - she consistently returns her home reading books and has been working hard to improve her reading skills.

Pillar of the Month: Quentin - for telling the truth when he made a mistake.

Congratulations to this months winners. We had gym with Mrs. Sterne. We had literacy centers and we did our word review. Please check your child's backpack to see how they did. Please continue practicing all our word wall words.


No School next week (March 21 - March 25) - Spring Break

I hope everyone has a fun and safe week off. See you on March 28th.

 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.
