Today was a good day for everyone. We started off the day with a scissor cutting exercise. Everyone did fairly well and I am glad to say that there was less "confetti" on the floor this time!
For our math data management unit, we are learning about patterns. So, today we did many pattern exercises. We went to the gym and did clapping/movement pattern exercises, which were a lot of fun. We also made patterns with wooden shapes and coloured plastic cubes. Everyone is getting the hang of understanding what a pattern is and what is not a pattern.
We also went over a couple of letters. Today, we wrote the letter "I" on the whiteboard. Each student had to write the letter without tracing it, something that they have gotten used to. Most students were able to successfully write the letter and did not need to trace it. I was very proud of them.
We also watched a movie about the alphabet called "Alphabet Soup." This movie is an educational, animated movie that encourages and teaches students the letters of the alphabet, how to recognize each letter, the sounds they make, and various words that begin with that letter.
Because everyone did very well today, the last half hour was free time, which consisted of playing with playdoh. They got very creative and enjoyed this activity very much. It was nice to occasionally allow them to express themselves through a different medium such as playdoh.
A reminder: tomorrow is the Terry Fox Run, between 2:30 - 3:30. We will be leaving the school for our walk immediately after second lunch (2:10). If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
Have a great night!!
Ms. H.
