Hello!

Hello everyone,

Today we did some letter tracing sheets and also wrote letters on our own. Many of us did very well on these worksheets!

We also read two Franklin stories: Franklin is Messy and Franklin Fibs.  This taught everyone the importance of cleaning up our classroom and also to always tell the truth.  After, everyone each got a stuffed toy turtle that they each chose a name and favourite food for.  Everyone had fun with their own "pet" turtles that they did not want to say good bye to them!

We also did lots of hands on shapes and colour activities, with puzzles, buttons, and foam shapes/colours.  There were a lot of different activities to do so we were very busy!

We also coloured and made our own "In Flanders Fields" mini booklets to commemorate the soldiers who fought in the war.  I explained the importance of Remembrance Day, teaching that it is a day for us to remember all of the men and women who helped protect us and keep us safe.  It was also a day to thank these men and women, which is why we read the "In Flanders Field" poem.  I also explained the significance of a poppy.  We will read the book tomorrow for remembrance day.

We also had drama, french, and gym.

A reminder: there is no school on Friday.


Have a good night!

Miss H.
