Hi Everyone!

Another week goes by. Here is a recap of some of the things we did.

 

On Monday the class worked hard on their printing and started learning basketball skills in the gym. Later, they practiced poetry and made art to celebrate Lunar New Year.

 

Tuesday, we had fun working with numbers is various math centres. We also continued learning about rhyme in oral language groups and then went to Music. We have started integrating more reading time into our day and the kids are learning strategies to help them figure out the story.

 

On Wednesday we had our literacy centres (always fun!) and went to the Whole School Meeting. Dash and Sean showed their penguin projects to the school! We continue to work on basketball and went to the library.

 

Thursday, we started the day with buddy reading and then enjoyed learning what predators’ penguins have. The kids wrote about pets they have, or wish to have, in their journals. After Music, the class helped clean up the room before our forest time.

 

I will be hosting Student Led Conferences on February 15. This is an early dismissal day, and you are invited to come in and let your child show you what they have been learning. I will be sending you a sign-up document soon. Please sign up for a time slot that works for you.

 

Important dates to remember:

February 14 Valentine’s Day

February 15 Early Dismissal/Student Led Conferences

February 20 Family Day (no school)

February 24 School in session

 

Warmly,
