Guest reader

As part of  "I Love To Read" month, we were delighted to have one little girl's mom come read to our class. She read the book The Wide-Mouthed Frog to our class. Everyone enjoyed this funny pop-up book! 
** Thank you very much for coming to read to us! ** All other parents/grand-parents are invited to come read to us, too!

We also practiced reading some little books to ourselves and to a partner today. 
The new waitress costume was a hit!!  Many kids took turns being the waitress and writing down the orders of the customers.

Mrs. Macdonell talked to us today about feelings and understanding how we might feel in different kinds of situations. We also talked about identifying adults that we can trust to help us if we need to talk about something and/or if there is a problem that we need help with. (ie. if we get lost in the mall, who can we ask to help us find our family). This is part of a program called Kids in the Know  (click on the link to find out more about this program.)

Olympics!

Today we watched a few minutes of the opening ceremony of the Olympics and saw the Olympic torch being carried to light the Olympic cauldron in Sochi, Russia. We then made our own Olympic torch. We imagined what kind of athlete we might be if we were at the Olympics.


Today everyone was encouraged to wear a hat to school .....as part of "Hats off to Reading". This is what our class looked like!

I Love To Read

Today we had house groups. As part of I Love To Read month, each house group made bookmarks. Everyone personalized their own bookmark to take home.


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Today we had an assembly first thing this morning....as a kick off to  the Olympics and I Love To Read. The Grade One class performed a Sound Story. The Grade 4-5 choir sang a beautiful song that they will be performing at the festival next month. Students were all challenged to read one book for every medal that Canada wins at the Olympics. Go Canada!!

Math

Today we were working with Ms. Janz on the Learning Carpet. We were putting numbers in order. We also took turns taking a number off (while our friends closed their eyes), and putting a frog in place of the number. Then the friends had to figure out what number was missing.   







Math ---- making a pattern out of the LINKS,  then using them to make a shape. 


Using the links to measure the chair (with a non-standard measurement).   It was 12 links long!
