Hello parents and family!
This was our first week together and it has gone great! I have really enjoyed getting to know all of the students and hearing about some amazing Spring Breaks!
In Language arts this week we have been practicing writing perfect sentences. As a class we talked about all our different Spring Break adventures and used our 5 senses in writing to describe what we saw, heard, smelled, tasted and felt!
In groups the students had to unscramble sentences strips! Each group of four was given a sentence to unscramble, rewrite on their whiteboards and share with the class. Once they had shared we put the sentences in sequence and made a class story!
This week we had some time to introduce a new Word Work activity, Rainbow Writing. The students really enjoyed using different colours to practice sight words from our word wall.
In Math we started out reviewing all the different ways we can solve math problems. We made a book of our strategies for our math folders to help us remember! We also practiced our counting and adding and subtracting skills in games and centers.
In Science this week we have focused on seeds - what they are, what they look like and what they definitely are not! The students separated a bunch of items into a "seeds" and "not seeds" pile and we discussed what they all had the same or different. We also read the story "The Tiny Seed" by Eric Carle to follow the life of a seed and learn how they make their way from the plant to the ground to make new plants.
Swimming was great this week! We go again next week on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday! The students are doing amazing jobs splashing, floating and dunking their heads under the water! Next week I will be bringing the camera so I can share how awesome they are doing!
Have a good weekend!
