Big Mean Mike

I LOVE TO READ month continues….

This morning Mr. Miller, our Vice-Principal, stopped by to read us a story called Big Mean Mike. Everyone really enjoyed the story and the message that went with it.

Mrs. Mitchell (Speech  Language Pathologist) worked with a few students today. She read them a story and did an activity related to the story.

Today was Day 5 which meant it was our Library Day. Mrs. Wood (Librarian) read us a story before we each selected a book to sign out and take home to read with our families. (Please note: If your child has not returned the last book he/she signed out, then he/she will not be allowed to sign out another book until the last one is returned.)

Some people enjoyed a card game of "GO FISH" this afternoon. A great game to play at home with the family.  (Skills include…. number recognition, matching numbers, language skills, co-operation, good sportsmanship, etc.)

We had a couple guest readers from….. our own class today!! They did an AWESOME job reading to their classmates!

Sharing time… bring anything you like and tell us all about it!

Visitors

Today baby Jacob and his mom, Mrs. Zinn, came to visit us as part of the Roots of Empathy program. We observed that Jacob can sit up by himself now, he can hold a toy, and he can roll over all by himself. His mom said he already has one tooth, and he is getting another one. 

When we measured baby Jacob in the fall, he was only 8 blocks long. Today he was 9 blocks long!!  He has grown!!!

     We were fortunate to have another visitor today. He came from rural Manitoba to read to us for I Love To Read month. Someone recognized him…. and said it was her Grandpa!   Thank you very much for reading us a book this afternoon. Everyone enjoyed the story. It was extra special for one little girl! 

      Our visitor had heard about our Smart Board and noticed it on our blog, so we were happy to demonstrate how we use it. We even encouraged him to give it a try. We guessed the pattern that he made!
