Hello Everyone!

Today, we started off the day with circle time and shared all of our stories about what is going on in everyone's lives and what has already happened. We also decided to sing the good morning boogie song a little differently.  Instead of singing "hello" in the song, we sung "jambo," which means "hello" in Swahili. For those of you who are not sure where Swahili is spoken, it is spoken in Kenya, a country I was born in.

We also played with some Franklin finger puppets and read a Franklin story book.  This one was called "Franklin's Neighbourhood." After we read this story, each student was given a piece of paper and asked to draw their favourite aspects of their own neighbourhoods. I wrote down the responses of each student. I received a lot of interesting ideas and we had lots of fun sharing our favourite moments together.

We also did some hands on activities to do with the alphabet and shapes. We also recognized and identified different letters, which were colourful plastic magnets and placed them on the whiteboard.  We also worked with identifying colours.

We had music and french.


Have a great night,

Miss H.
