Our plants are growing! Every week, one student is responsible for watering the plants.
News/Reminders:- Please return trip permission forms if you haven't done so.
- If you are available, please sign up online for one to one reading with the students.
- We are kindly asking for donations for our Springfest basket. Please speak to Samantha if you have any questions. The kids are already getting excited for the big day! We are also collecting tombolas which may include small toys or hard candies. The tombolas will be used as prizes at Springfest.
- I have been completing one on one reading assessments with the students and I am so impressed with everyone's progress :) The kids have been working so hard all year long!
- At the end of each day, I have been choosing a special person who has demonstrated perseverance, kindness and respect throughout the day. I choose someone who has been working hard or someone who has shown improvement. Students take turns complimenting that student and sharing what they like about them. This has been working so well and it's truly amazing to see their beautiful smiles :) In the end...who wouldn't want to be recognized for their efforts?
- We had an opportunity to meet Lorna Schultz Nicholson, author of the Pucker books! She was full of energy and even crawled around on the floor when explaining all her characters from the books.
What did we do all week? Just take a look!
Math: We practised addition and subtraction with various manipulative and tools.
We combined art and mathematics and learned about symmetrical and asymmetrical objects. We learned about the line of symmetry and created beautiful artwork. These lessons also tied into our fractions unit.
The shop continues to be a big hit in the classroom. Students now have to earn coins for free choice throughout the week. On Friday, everyone gets free play!
In Science, we have been discussing parts of a plant and the problem behind the bee decline. Students had an opportunity to examine a real bees nest.
