Hi Everyone!
Another week goes by. Here is a
recap of some of the things we did.
On Monday there was no
school.
Tuesday we continued learning about rhyming in
our oral language
groups and played some high pace tag games in the gym to help calm some of the
wiggles of the group. We also wrote about our weekend in our journals, the kids
had a lot to say! On Tuesday we started our home reading program with the
kindies (the grade 1’s have already begun). Please take a few minutes each day
to read with your child and return the book each day. If you can keep the book
and green reading log together in the planner it would be appreciated.
On Wednesday we welcomed
Jodi Streelasky, from UVIC, in to observe our class. Jodi will be visiting our
class periodically throughout the year. An information/consent form was sent
home on Wednesday. Please have a look and return it to school. Wednesday we
practiced math, using tens frames, and learned about tally marks in the outdoor
classroom.
Thursday we practiced
reading sight words, Franky and Emma presented at Whole School Meeting and the
kids went to Music. Later we combined art and math and made number rain clouds
pictures.
On Friday we did printing
practice, made rain clouds, and did a scavenger hunt in the forest. We played a
describing game with some of Kaz's natural treasures. We closed our eyes and
described the object without saying what it was, before opening our eyes we
guessed what was in our hands. Sometimes we were right and other times we were
surprised.
Family Math Night is
coming up on Thursday, February 8th. Families are welcome to come to
the gym and explore math games and puzzles in the Math Playground. We will have
a short information session for parents to learn about how math instruction has
changed and how parents can support their children in math learning at home.
The Math Playground will be open in the gym from 6-7:30 pm and we will have the
parent info session around 7 pm. We hope that many of you join us for this
event.
