100 chart - missing numbers!  (There are different ability levels to choose from.... and a variety of other educational games to play, too.) and you should be able to play within logging in.

        

Today we revisited an activity we started last week. We had talked about the different food groups, and which foods would go in the fridge. We each had our own fridge, and cut out some pictures to put in the fridge. We also wrote 3 different healthy foods that we like - that are kept in the fridge.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

The kids were SO excited today!!!  

We made Valentine mailboxes in the morning. 

 We passed out our Valentines. It was fun reading the names and delivering them to the appropriate mailboxes. (Many kids can already read many, if not all, of their classmates' names! WOW!)  Other kids had help as needed.

 Then everyone dumped out their mail and checked out their Valentines!!

 SHARING TIME....

Thank you very much to the families who sent in treats today. They were very much enjoyed by all!!

And thank you to the parents who provided guidance for their children to write out all their own valentines --- printing the names of all their classmates, and printing their own names, too!  This is the best kind of writing experience -- something that is very meaningful and important to the kids!! 

These kids will be choosing a prize from the Treasure Chest tomorrow in recognition of their efforts! 

Wrinkled heart

This is our Star of the Week. He shared his poster and photos with the class and told us a little about himself.
 
Today we read the verse on this paper. We discussed the words, and what they meant. We talked about how we need to really think about the kind of words we say to others. We know that saying mean things can hurt other people's feelings.... and we feel bad when other people hurt our feelings. We also talked about how it is so very important to treat other people how you want to be treated. Then...


  
....we crunched up the paper.....and then tried smoothing it back out. BUT... we couldn't get it as smooth as before we crunched it up. Oh no!!!  Our heart was now wrinkled...forever. We decided we didn't want to feel - or make anyone else feel - as wrinkled up as our paper hearts.
  

This afternoon we found some sight words we know in this little book. It was fun reading our books with a buddy...
  

Storybook character day

This is our I LOVE TO READ month.  Everyone was encouraged to come as one of their favourite storybook characters. Here's who came to our class......
       
We have a school division literacy teacher in our school for a couple weeks. She came to our class today and read us a story about a dog. The dog was checking out the food in the fridge and trying to do "people kind of things" when his owner was away. After the story, we brainstormed different kinds of foods that would go in the fridge, keeping in mind foods from each of the Canada Food Guide categories.
