Good Afternoon!
Today we began our day with our morning routine and snacks.
This week students are learning about letter Vv. Today students made a vegetable collage by cutting pictures from grocery store fliers.
After that we practice formation of letter V. Our animals friend this week is Vicky Vulture.
Today we started a new unit on Math about patterning.
These are the key learning goals
for this unit:
•Recognize and copy simple patterns,including those that involve position, colour, size, and shape
• Describe a simple pattern
• Copy simple patterns using concrete materials
• Create, copy, and extend simple patterns using a variety of materials and actions
• Show the same pattern in different ways
To start off our new unit we went on a pattern walk. Students tried to find patterns around our classroom and school.
Please note that we will continue to work on numeracy skills until the end of school year.
After lunch students practiced our song on stage. Everyone did a good job!
Students attended French class and after recess we played some games in class and had our end of the day circle time.
Have a great evening everyone!

Good Afternoon!
Today we began our day with our morning circle time and snacks.After that we learned about Jellyfish and we found out some very interesting information:
- Jellyfish live in ocean all over the world.
- Jellyfish can be purple, pink, orange and other colors.
- Most jellyfish are shaped like open umbrella.
- Their bodies are smooth and squishy.
- Jellyfish do not have eyes, a brain, a heart or bones.
- A jellyfish spreads out its tentacles to search for food.
- Jellyfish eat shrimp, young crabs, lobsters and fish.
After reading a couple of books related to our subject, we talked about how salty water makes things float. To help students to understand we cracked 2 eggs, one in salty water (like the seawater) and the other one in regular tap water. The egg in the salty water floated and the one in regular water sank. We used our imagination and pretended the egg was a jellyfish, students could observe how jellyfish float in the ocean.
Students made a nice craft of a jellyfish.
In our language arts we are learning letter Kk, today students practiced our phonics song for letter K. And our animal friend is Kathy Kangaroo. Students completed a worksheet to practice formation of letter K.
After that we head out to the gym to have a Kangaroo race!
Everyone was in need of some physical activity by that point!
We came back to our classroom and had some time to play a math game, using animals counters.
After lunch and recess students participated in reading group and attended Music and French classes.
To finish off our day students wrote in their journals and played with playdough.
Have a great evening everyone!

Good Afternoon!
Today we had another busy day!
We began the day with our morning circle time and snacks.
After that students colored a nice ocean picture and decorated with sand. Students attended Gym class.
After that everyone participated in reading groups and completed a couple of Math worksheets.
In the afternoon students wrote in their journals and attended French class.
To finish off our day we talked about one of the IB learner profiles: communicator. To help students understand this attribute we played a game where I would call a student outside of the classroom, give him/her a message the student had to find a way to communicate the message to his classmates with no words.
After that we practiced our love song for the gala.
Have a great evening!
