It was a beautiful day today! We took part in the town clean up by pairing up with the Grade 1 class. Students were even commenting that it was TOO hot! The students did a great job cleaning up around the school playground and rink. When we were discussing the task at hand, one of the students commented that we were cleaning up to help make the Earth happy. Then, they requested to hear the "We're Going Green" song/video we had watched in April.
First thing this morning, students had an opportunity to paint their leaves on the mural. They did an excellent job.
In Math, we talked all about the number 10. We watched a video of the song 10 Bears In The Bed, filled in our "All About the Number" chart, and worked on making 10 in two sets with a butterfly activity!
We also talked a lot about animals today. Students shared why they like animals. We brainstormed which animals live in the ocean and which animals do not live in the ocean. Together we read a book called Sharks. It was a higher level book than The Ocean book we read last day. However, we worked together and made it through! Some examples of the words were "Sharks are good swimmers. Sharks are big and little." Students also began a mini project where they each picked an animal that lived in the ocean and began colouring a picture of that animal using wax crayon. We will finish the project on Thursday, as last class we were invited to watch plays performed by the Grade 4's and 5's.
The clock is ticking! There are so many activities that I want to fit in before the end of the school year. It's going to be a busy/fun month. :)
