Happy Green Day!

Our class had their Rider pride on for the province wide Green Day today! There was a buzz right from the start of the day. The highlights from center time included students playing their own game of Fastest Letter in the West, other students writing notes on stationary, and another exploring new Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head alphabet flash cards. After our morning meeting, students took turns sharing their All About Me bags to demonstrate that they can talk about themeslves. They all did a wonderful job at sharing photos, favourite toys, and other artifacts that helped us to learn about one another! Most of them decorated their paper bags as well.

It was another frosty indoor recess day, plus the gym was busy with a presentation during our Phys. Ed class, so we got to learn some new, fun songs and dances today. The biggest hit was the Wishy Washy Washer Woman by The Learning Center:

We read another wonderful Robert Munsch book today: Purple, Green, and Yellow. It fits well with our PWIM cycle and some students could read the title, as all three colour words are a part of our PWIM word list. For math, I read Two Hungry Bears to introduce learning about the number two. We also filled in both our group and individual "All About the Number".. charts. After we did some extra work on practicing writing the numbers 1 to 5, we also watched videos to go with the songs Hickory Dickory Dock and 5 Little Monkeys.





This week we have learnt about the numbers 1 and 2

For our last class of the day, we explored our feelings using the book The Way I Feel. I encouraged students to share their thoughts on how the character was feeling on each page. Then we practiced different expressions of feelings in mirrors. Finally, students represented their experiences with feelings to create our newest class book!

I'm feeling very happy with how the day unfolded. We accomplished a lot of learning and had fun doing along the way. Hopefully we will all be feeling very excited when the Riders win the Grey Cup this weekend!!!

GO GREEN!
