Hello!
Another full week of school. We took advantage of the sun earlier in the week while it lasted, with some outdoor games and activities. Hopefully it doesn’t rain too much these next few days. We have a new student in our class, who is starting to make some friends and learn our routines.
We worked on the letters n, c , k, and e, this week, working on adding to our spelling skills with kit, pin, can, set, ect.
Our class dove into our social studies work this week, working a lot on families and how each one is different. Our work will be posted on our board at the end of next week.
We started looking into our next animal: penguins! We discussed what we know about penguins (so far a lot!), and drew some penguins as a class.
We also worked on some aboriginal snowmen with Mrs. Chaves. They were sent home today.
Next week is literacy week, and to get us ready we worked with our big buddies on a number of mini projects. All the completed one’s are in the hallway.
First each student had to interview their buddy to gather information and learn more about each other.
Next everyone had to complete a mini book review about their favourite story. My class would draw, while the grade 5s would write for them.
If they finished that, they would roll for a story, where they would roll a dice and end up with a random character, srtting, and problem, and then have to write a story about it. The stories must have been driven by the little buddy, and written by the big buddy, so they were a little random.
Next week is literacy week, and Ruth King has a lot of activities prepared, such as guest readers and assemblies. I sent home a reading bingo card for you to try and accomplish. There will be prizes given out bases on a draw. Next Friday is “dress like your favourite story character” day, which I will remind students about throughout the week.
Have a good weekend, and see you Monday.
