Day 46

Hello,

Here is what we did today!

Calendar: Today our routine was led by Jordan!
Phonics: Today we continued to work on the long a sound. Together we thought of a list of words that have a long a sound in them and we spelt them together. They have improved on sounding words out! Next they completed a worksheet on the long a sound.
Math: Today we started a new unit on Data management! Today we started talking about sorting objects into things that are the same and the things that are different. We used hula hoops and sorted objects. We sorted things according to colour, size and shape. They were really good at it!
Journal: Today we continued to work on the long a sound and wrote three words that have the long a sound. Their journals have improved so much over the past few weeks! They are starting to sound out words on their own which is fantastic!

Lunch/Recess

Unit of inquiry: Today we continued our work on plants. We reviewed the parts of a plant and then moved on to the parts of a plant that we eat! We separated vegetables into five categories: flowers, seeds, leaves, stems and roots. We talked about how some of the vegetable look similar to their category. For example, beans look like small seeds; this helped them to remember that it is a seed. We started working on a booklet called “Parts of a plant we eat”. We will continue to work on this tomorrow.

French: Please see Mlle. Jessica’s blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

Science: Today we started working on our science fair project. We are doing a science fair project together! The science fair project we are completing is making ice-cream in a bag! We will create ice cream three times together. This is to make sure that we are having consistent results. We had lots of fun and we were successful in our experiment! We learned that salt makes the ice colder and allows the milk to freeze and make ice cream!

Overall we had a great day! Hope this continues tomorrow!
