PATTERN DAY TOMORROW!

Please wear pattern shirt or sweater!

Good Afternoon!

Today we started off our day with morning circle time and snacks.
After that we reviewed short vowel sound and completed several worksheets.
Students attended Phys. Ed. class in the morning and when they came back to class we read a nice story of a bear tittled: "Don't Worry Douglas" by David Melling.
This week in our unit of inquiry, we are learning about bears. Today students used chocolate pudding to paint a bear. We also learned that bears eat berries, nuts and insects.
In the afternoon we played some games and practiced our song on stage! Everyone did really well today!
Have a great evening!

Good Afternoon!

Today we had a fun day!
And I was very glad to see you all back in school!
In the morning we had our calendar routine and snacks.
After that students practiced our song on stage.
This week students are learning name, sound and formation of letter V. Today students learned a little bit more about our animal friend Vicky Vulture.
After singing our phonics song students completed a couple of worksheets and did some cutting and pasting of a vase. This week we are also focusing on vowels. Students are learning that short vowels tell their sounds like in pig, jet or sun. And long vowels tell their name like in acorn, tile or vase.
In our math unit on patterns students used different counters to create their own pattern.
In the afternoon students attended Phys. Ed., Music and French classes.
After recess we played games and had our end of the day circle time.

Alpha-Bits



And to finish off our day yesterday, students were encouraged to either find the letters of their names or form simple short vowel words such as bug, pig, jet, cat or fox!
And of course eat afterwards!


V says "v" for Vegetables!

On Friday we will have a different version of Show & Tell. Students may bring a vegetable as a Show & Tell. Feel free to bring a vegetable to share with the class :)
