Snow!

I spoke too soon about Spring! We had snow on the ground here last night/this morning. However, it was all melted by lunch recess. :) 

 

 

We learned our last jolly sound today! It was the /ar/ sound. We reviewed the sight words that we have been working on and added "it". So, I spelt this sentence for the students to read:

 

 

Some of us also worked on letter sounds later in the day by spelling some CVC words. Other students had some time with the I-Pad and on the Starfall website on the computer.

 

In math, we opened our Little Passports mail. Then we read a counting story that takes place in Tanzania! They also worked on colouring a shape pattern.

Our Little Passports mail came from India! Sam and Sophia told us all about looking for Bengal tigers, some famous landmarks like the Taj Mahal, and about some traditions in India.

 

Last week, some of the students had made extra coloured coffee filters, so I hung those in the window. They look so pretty with the light shining through them! Our plants are enjoying the sun as well.

 

 

We also learned about the second habit from the 7 Habits of Happy Kids:

 

We read a story about Goob the Bear. He wanted to buy a bug kit from the store, so he made a plan of how he was going to make money and all of the things that he wanted to buy. Him and his friend Jumper Rabbit held a lemonade stand and split the money. Jumper bought candy that he ate right away and toys that broke right away and then he didn't have any money. Goob was able to buy everything on his list, plus he had money left over! He treated Jumper to a movie in the end.

 

We discussed the story and some examples of why it is good to plan ahead.

In gym we did some animal movements, played Octopus tag, and then came back to do some Go Noodle workout videos. The day ended with our talking circle and then everyone was off!

 

Tomorrow is Earth Day. Remember to be kind to the Earth every day! :)
