Hello Families,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
We started our day off in gym, developing our skills in long-rope skipping. It was amazing to see everyone's skills grow in just one gym period, and how everyone supported each other, and cheered each other on during their turn. A wonderful way to start our morning!
In work period, students worked with a partner to find different ways
to sort 9 different emojis. Students recorded with pictures and
words the different ways they sorted the emojis. Noticing similarities and differences in shapes and designs is an important part of being mathematical. It is valuable for students to see that shapes and designs have many different characteristics and can be sorted in a variety of ways.
Their other work period task was to write a journal entry about their weekend. Students are becoming more independent in initiating, persisting with, and completing writing tasks in the work period.
In the afternoon, we explored some new colour choices. We were able to share what we already know about primary and secondary colours, and are excited to experiment with the different materials.
Usually, Tuesday is our library exchange day, but we have had to reschedule this week until Thursday.
Tomorrow is our Terry Fox Run. Please see additional blog entries for more information.
Conferences bookings are now open! Please visit your "MyCBEAccount" to book a time on Thursday to meet. Please make sure you use the conference listing for "Bouchard/Thomas/Gray" NOT the "Kinder to Grade 6" from the drop-down menu.
Have a wonderful evening everyone!
Ms. Thomas
