i - i - it's Friday!

Happy Friday! Here are some of the highlights from our day:

 

*It was free choice Friday in gym! After our usually warm ups, stretches, and tag games, students got to choose what they wanted to play with from the equipment room.

 

*As a part of the 12 Days of Christmas activities, we had to write a Christmas song. I believe it ended up something like

"Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Rock

Santa wakes up to the sound of his clock

He delivers presents to all girls and boys.

Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Rock.

(I can't remember this line)

"Hey Santa, how you doin' today?"

Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Rock.

 

*We discussed the seasons today. We watched a video of a song about the four seasons, looked at some photos that show the different seasons, read the book Calendar, and then students coloured a tree for every season.

 

*We also learnt the /i/ sound today through Inky Mouse, including the actions, how to print it, and the song. We also reviewed the words 'sat', and 'at', as well as introduced the words 'it', 'sit', and 'is'. They did a much better job today without sounding out the words!

 

 

 

*We also continued our discussions on how people are the same and how we are different. I also posed the question, "What would the world be like if it were run by kids?" and then we followed up with a book that explores the same topic.

 

 

 

We rounded off the day with our "This is me in December." portraits. It was such a busy end to the day that we did not get to our talking circle. After everyone had cleared out, I also realized that we forgot to choose a student to take Chester Racoon home for the weekend! So, he's with Miss Gagnon for the weekend and fitting in quite nicely. :)

 

We wish everyone a holly jolly weekend!
