Day 40

Happy Thursday!

Here is what we did today!

Calendar: Today our routine was led by Alexa.
Gym: Please see Ms. Lovan's blog for more information.
Phonics: Today we continued to work on the letter Ll. We made a list of words that start with Ll and stretched out the words together in order to figure out how to spell them. They thought of a lot of words! I was really impressed. Next they completed a worksheet on the letter Ll. As the children forgot their show and share today we will complete it on Monday.
Christmas song: Today we started working on our song for the christmas concert! The children are loving it and so far we have learned half of it. We are going to continue for the rest of the month.

Lunch/Recess

Journal: We have spent a lot of time this week talking about farm animals. As a result, today we wrote about our favourite animals!
Unit of inquiry: Today we read the story "The little red hen". It went through the story of a hen finding a wheat seed and followed the process all the way to eating the bread! We talked about what the hen was doing and the various steps that occurred. Finally the children completed a sequencing worksheet.
French: Please see Mlle. Jessica's blog for more information

Lunch/Recess

Math: Today we continued to talk about AAB patterns. They reminded me that patterns always REPEAT and the core is the part that REPEATS. Next we made some patterns together on the carpet and then they completed a worksheet on which shape comes next. They are getting so good at patterns!
Christmas song: We continued to learn the song together and practice for the christmas concert!

Have a great weekend!
