This week has been SO BUSY!

It was Education Week and we had tons of fun and active stuff for our Kids! First we had Drumfit in the gym! This is always a favourite! We also had Zumba on Tuesday!

HOJA was in the house on Thursday afternoon! They are an a capella group that travel across Canada and perform in school. They're really fun to watch and amazingly talented! They even stopped by our room and sang a song for one of our birthday girls!

In Science this week we have been wrapping up our Spring study. On Monday it was so gorgeous out, we had to go outside! We used our senses to write about what we see, smell, taste, hear and feel in the spring in our outdoor classroom!


In Social, we are starting to talk about Urban, Rural and Suburban communities. We looked at pictures at what each would look like and then tested our ears! We listened to sounds and decided if
they would be in an Urban or Rural community.


This week in Math we are practicing Addition up to 20. We played Shake Up Addition, using 20 counters and shaking them in a cup we came up with all the possible ways to make 20.





Every week I am so amazed with how passionately these kiddos are starting to write! To conclude our Fairy Tale unit we are writing our very own Three Little story. We started out by making a plan, deciding what our characters would be and what their three houses would be made out of. Then we worked on writing beginnings to our stories. They're working so hard!!!!

Next week we will finish writing our middles and endings.

In Daily 5, we have added a few templates to Word Work and Work on Writing. Students are now able to practice writing Lists, Notes, Texts and Postcards!


In Word Work they are working with Popcorn Word sticks to make frames and put popcorn works in ABC Order.
