Good morning,

Students will start off their day by having circle time, they will go over the days of the week, months of the year, seasons and learned about what type of weather we are having today. After circle time the students were asked to get a buddy and start there morning reading. Around 9:45 we went over to the dome to practice for Art's night.

Moving on to math, we are still learning about measurement. The students were asked to work in their math books on page 254-255. On this page, they were asked to give a good estimate  on how many bugs are on the page, the next page was to simply fill in the missing numbers on a number chart from 1-100. 

Moving on to our UOI, we are still in the unit of Spring, the students were asked to complete another art work sheet that goes with  the theme of spring. 

Towards the end of the day, the student's did not have their french class because we had one last rehearsal for Art's Night.

Good morning and welcome back!

Today, the students will start their day by having their circle time. During this time the students will go over the days of the week, months of the year, new blends and the weather. Today, the students learned a new blend. Today's blend was "ue." First, the students brain storm all of the words that make that sound. They were able to come up with many words   Wow! They did a great job! Next, we played the "Sound Game." This game involves having cards to read out loud and placing them on where they belong based on the blend.

Moving on to math, the students are still in the unit of measurements. Today we reviewed our math words. Next, we completed a page in our math books page 199. On this page, the kids were asked  to draw different lengths from shortest to longest. 

Lastly, we did an activity where we first estimated on how many blocks it will take to make the same length was your partner. 

I think they had a really fun time finding out each other lengths. 

 Moving on to our UOI time, we are still learning about Spring. We reviewed the four stages of Spring. Next, we worked on a worksheet where we had to write sentence about using our senses during spring time. 

Moving on to our journal time. Today's entry was "Two things that I did over the weekend were...." 

For the students who had good behavior today, they were able to have play time at the end of the day. 

The students did not have French class today, their teacher was absent.

Good morning!

Students will read the morning message, learn about the months of the year, days of the week and learn their new sounds. Today, the students had there spelling test. Everyone did very well! I will be sending home the test today. Next, the students who finished all of their work for the week were able to have free time . For the kids who did not finish assignment's for the week were asked to finish first then they could have play time.

Moving on to our math time, we are still in the unit of measuring. Today, the students went over our math words. Next, each student wrote down their names on a piece of paper. We wanted to find out who has the longest and shortest name in the class. I think the activity was pretty fun. 

Moving on to UOI time, today we learned about Trees. First we reviewed all of the different signs that we might see during spring time. Next,  we brain storm ideas about a tree. Why do we have trees? Why are they important to us? And what resources  do we get from trees. Then, we watched a short video on fun facts about trees. Lastly,  we worked on a fun art project where they need to finger print leaves on the tree. 

The students end off the day with having there French class and we had more rehearsals for Art's night.

I hope everyone has a great weekend ! See you on Monday.
