Hello to all!

Today was a day of numbers and math. To some of us, math may seem a tad dry and boring,  but the math we did in class today was lots of fun for the JKAs!  Our focus of the day was counting and patterning.
For counting, we sang a song called "Ten Fishies," a copy of which I have sent home with each child in his or her book bag.

For patterning, we used plastic pattern blocks and matched them to the shapes on paper. If done correctly, the finished blocks made a picture of a lion. After some time and effort, most of us were able to complete this activity well.

We also practiced tracing the letters Dd and Ss.

This week, we are learning about animals in the amazon/rainforest and today's animal was a snake, most specifically an anaconda. We also watched a "Go Diego Go" episode on anacondas. We also painted a rainforest picture with kool aid mix. We did this by spreading different kool aid colours onto paper and spraying water on top with a spray bottle. This was a lot of fun!!

A reminder:

-Casual Day has been changed to this Thursday instead of Wednesday.
-I sent home a couple of worksheets to practice. These are not due or will not be collected. They are just supplementary homework/practice for every student!


Have a great night!!!!
