Monday May 30th

Hello,

Here is what we did yesterday.

French: Please see Mlle. Jessica's blog for more information.
Calendar: Today our routine was led by Selena
Phonics: Today we started working on the "ai" sound. We reviewed the sound it makes and then made a list of words on the board and then used flashcards to practice sounding words out with the "ai" sound.

Gym: Please see Mr. Slyk's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

Journal: On the weekend I....
IB Learner: The students discussed what they believe Reflective Learner means with a partner then shared their ideas with a group. A reflective learner is to think about their actions and how they can do better and improve. Then, the students listened to a book, "When Sophie Gets Angry". The students discussed how Sophie is a reflective learner and also wrote about her on a worksheet.

Lunch/Recess

Math: Today we talked about the concepts of "heavier" and "lighter". I started off by putting things in a basket and making the basket heavier and making the basket lighter by taking things out of it. Next we talked about things that would be heavier than a glue stick or lighter than a glue stick. The kids had some time to look around the classroom and find different items that fit with the criteria. Next they completed a worksheet. Finally we ended the period by testing our theories on a scale! We were able to see which items were heavier or lighter than another and compare weights.

Have a great night!

Miss. Ross

ACTION

Action is a very significant aspect of the IB learning process. In the PYP Program, students will engage in 6 Unit of Inquiries (UOI) throughout the school year, with each unit being approximately 6 weeks long. During each UOI, 3 students from the class will be assigned as the “Action Stars”, which means that they are encouraged to use what has been learned and apply it to the “real world.” The purpose of this initiative is to help further knowledge about what has been learned within the classroom. Example: If we are learning about recycling, students might go home and tell you that they want to implement a recycling program with you at home, or they may do something simple like telling you that something you were throwing in the garbage may be recycled. Students who are not assigned this role for the current UOI being taught are still encouraged to show ACTION! Action comes in many forms; it might be something small to something very large, but as long as the children understand the concepts, action is important no matter the size! Please check out our Action board in our classroom to see all our fabulous learners.
