GOOD MORNING!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. This is the last week together until Spring Break so we are doing our Spirit Week. Today was pyjamas day. The students were asked to come to school in there pjs.

During the morning time we met at the gym for a quick activities to do in our pjs. We had a relay races between classes.

After our morning meeting with the school, the students and I start our day with having our circle time. This is when we go over the days of the week, sight words for the week, weather and also we make sure we change classroom jobs. 

Today we learned about a new sound. The new sound for today was the blend "oi." The students first brain storm words that have the same sound as "oi." Next, we watched a short video of other words that also have the same sound. 

Next we move on to our centers: The first center includes building with blocks. The students were asked to build two towers that have equal sides.

The next center includes reading with me. The students have moved on to a new book. This book is called "I Learn to Read." The students will meet with me every morning and we will go over the words as a small group. This book will be sent home almost everyday, (unless different) please make sure you are reading with your kid. I will highlight any words that I think they need to review. 

The last center is writing there words of the week 4 times. 

Moving onto our math time: Everyone did great on there Telling Time Test so we are moving on to Counting Money.To start off our unit a Pre Test was given to the students. This test will help me to see who knows what and what I should be forcing on.  We learned about the value of a penny. 

Moving onto our UOI, our new community helper that the students learned about is a fire fighter. The student were first asked to brain storm on what they think a fire fighter does. Next, we watched a quick video on what a fire fighter does. Lastly, we ened the lesson with making a coloring book about all of the important things we should know about fire safely. 

The students end the day off by having there French lesson and finishing there journal entry. Today's entry was to write two sentences using the words "soil" and "coin"
