Christmas Concert Day!

Today, we did our usual morning routine of message, poem, and Calendar Wall. The students are finishing sooner so now they have 15-20 minutes of reading. 

In Math, we talked about time, which activity takes longer - zipping a jacket or reading a book. Then, they drew the hour hand on clocks. After this, time permitting, they are doing worksheets regarding skip counting, greater than/less than, and odd/even numbers. 

In our Literacy Block, we worked on small Christmas trees that have decorations. During Unit, we worked on Birthday invitations. As per the usual after doing agendas, they did their adding/subtracting packets. 

We are excited for our performance and hope you enjoy the poem. 


Have a lovely evening celebrating Christmas.

Good Day.

Today and tomorrow, morning assembly is cancelled because the Gym is set up for the Concert. Please ensure your child is in the class by 6:30 tomorrow evening. They should be dressed in their red top and dark pants. They will wear their indoor shoes. Be sure to have their hat here.

We did not have Gym because the Gym is set for the concert. We did some music beats with cubes singing ABC, Twinkle Little Star, and Jingle Bells. 

We worked on our Sequencing cut and paste giraffe and fish pictures as well as placing the months in the right order. Later, we glued four pictures of a boy building a snowman then had to write the order in which he built his friend. After that, we worked on Christmas trees and decorations that are 3D. 

We will not have Gym tomorrow either because of the concert.

Good afternoon. 

Today was unusual in that we had a full rehearsal for the concert this Wednesday. We had Math and Literacy. Our Calendar Wall session is now about 20 minutes so students are sitting with books to read. I have brought in Dr. Seuss, and other books for the different levels of reading that are represented by the students.

Good evening:

We were missing four students today. The rest of us looked at ordinal numbers using cars and flowers then a cut and paste picture of giraffes.

Later in Writing, the students used pictures they drew last week to do a journal write about their morning routines at home using First, Then, Next, After that, Later, Finally. 

Before afternoon recess, we coloured Christmas trees and decorations which we will cut out, paste and made a 3D tree.

Have a lovely evening.

Good evening.

Today, in Math, we looked at activities and events that take place in each season. The students drew pictures in their Math books. 


Later, in our Unit, we worked on designing Birthday invitations with place, date, time, RSVP, fake phone numbers, and decorate the front cover. This is to teach students about organizing detail for special events. Guests need to have the 5 w's before they can accept and respond. 

Other than that, the students had Gym, Art, and French today. 


Have a lovely evening.
