Day 44

Happy Friday,

Here is what we did today!

We started off the day having an assembly! Mrs. Nelson gave out the IB awards for September and October. In our class Aydan won the award for being an inquirer and Alexa won the award for being knowledgeable! Great work !

Gym: Please see Ms. Lovan's blog for more information.
Calendar: Today our routine was led by Julia.
Phonics: Today we did our show and share. As we didn't do show and share last week we did both weeks this week to catch up. All of the students presented beautifully and figured out how to spell the words together.

First we did last weeks show and share on the letter Uu and Ll

**Alexa brought herself for show and share! She talked about her nickname Lexi.


Next we did this weeks show and share on the letter Bb and Ff.

 

Journal: Today we talked about words that start with the letter Ff. Today I saw some AMAZING journals! It was by far the best I have seen yet. We are working on correctly forming our letters and ensuring that they are the appropriate size. Everyone did a great job spelling their words, writing neatly and drawing pictures to match their journal entry. I am really hoping that it continues! Although they all were amazing, here are some of the great journals that I saw today.

Lunch/Recess

Unit of inquiry: Today we worked on the parts of a plant. We sang a song that talked about the parts of a plant and the needs of a plant. Next they completed a worksheet in which they had to separate words into two columns: the needs of a plant and the parts of a plant. Here is the link for the song if you want to sing it at home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXrnHff2Kjc
French: Please see Mlle. Jessica's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

Math: Today we continued to review patterns for our test on Monday. Everyone is doing well but having some of the same problems. Most students struggle with ABBA patterns as they forget about the second A. I am optimistic that everyone is going to do great on the test! If you have any questions about the patterns or want more work please email me over the weekend and I can email you some appropriate sheets.

We ended the day off with some silent reading:)

Have a great weekend!
