In Language Arts students practiced spelling it out the following words: fat, dog, doll, fun, fin, fed and fog. We did this as a group, I would say the word loud and clear and they would tell me the letters. After writing it down on the white board I chose some students to read the words. Next students completed a worksheet to practice formation of the following: Dd/do/dog/fa/fat/fi/fin.
Students had a rehearsal with Mme. Stella in the morning for the French Cafe. When they came back to class we worked on our second Language worksheet, where students practiced sound and formation of the following: tu/tub/Tt. On the same worksheet students had to circle the pictures that end with t such as tent, foot and boat.
In Math students worked on one on one correspondence and practice counting and writing number 14. We also re-visited what we have learned last week about coins (penny, nickels and dimes). Students had fake coins to count and write it down the right amount.
After lunch students attended Gym class. Next in our Unit of Inquiry students worked on lacing cars, this is an excellent activity for JKs to develop fine motor skills, improve hand-eye coordination and concentration.
Students also wrote in their journals and practice their penmanship skills by writing on dry erase books and alphabet cards.
To finish off the day students listened to a story read by Mr. R., we practiced our song for Arts Night and watched a clip about Transportation.

Good Afternoon!
Today we began the day with calendar, story time, Show & Tell and healthy snacks.After that we reviewed the short vowel sound of e and i in words like net, jet and fit.
Students then completed a worksheet where they had to look at the picture, circle the letter that they heard at the beginning of each word and color the pictures. Students also completed a worksheet where they had to say the name of the picture and draw a circle around the correct word. Students are now practicing sounding it out or reading one vowel word everyday either in reading groups or seating work time.
As part of our unit in Math, today students were introduced to the concept of ordering events. To help students to better understand this concept we prepared a simple 3-step activity together: microwave popcorn.
We discussed the order of the steps by using the words first, next and last. We talked about what the popcorn looks like before it is popped and after.
After that, students were asked to illustrate what we did to make the popcorn.
Students were encouraged to use words that tell the order of what they did: “First, we…. Next, we…. Last, we….”
Everyone participated really well and of course students got to try the popcorn!
In the afternoon students also worked on an activity where they had to put events in order.
In the afternoon students wrote in their journals, attended French class, participated in reading groups and had some time to explore manipulatives in class.
Have a great evening everyone!

Demiana brought in whistles and cookies for everyone. Thank you Demiana!
After that, we prepared a very nice thank card for the firefighters that came to our school today. Students had lots of fun going inside the fire truck and talking to the firefighters. Enjoy the pictures!
After lunch we had Art class where students worked on "Puddle Art" using primary colors. In Language Arts we reviewed sound and formation of U and practiced writing and reading the word MUD. Just a reminder that our reading programme is heavily phonics based. In JK, students first learn the short/long-vowel sounds, then the sounds of the consonants. As each new consonant is introduced, the students learn the consonant short-vowel blend as well. A blend is when two or more letters are grouped together, but each phoneme retains its original sound.
In the afternoon students attended French class and to finish off the day we created edible fire trucks by using the following ingredients: crackers, carrots, cream cheese, pretzels stick and sour gummy. I don't even need to mention that this activity was the highest point of the day!
I just want to say that JKs behaved really well today when the fire truck came in our school!
Way to go JKs!
Have a great weekend everyone!
