As all of you know, the gala is fast approaching and we have been practicing and practicing our song, L-O-V-E by Nat Cole. This morning, we had another dress rehearsal on stage. We will be having dress rehearsals for the rest of the week. It went fairly well, but we are containing to practice singing louder and louder for all to hear this Saturday!
We also talked about our favourite animals: one that lives on land and one that lives in the water. We each characterized the animals we chose as either land or water animals. Many of us, including myself loved lions (land) and sharks (water). We displayed our preferences through beautiful drawings as well as creating them with coloured pattern blocks.
We also practiced the letter Kk by writing and sounding it out. We tried to think of animals that started with the letter K such as kangaroo, koala and kitty. After learning to trace the letter, we attempted to write it on our own. Some of us could do it right away and some took a little more time to figure it out. But, as many of us say, "practice makes perfect!" I encourage parents to sit and trace/write letters with their children whenever they can.
We also had french, gym and music today. We ended off the day with centres: drawing, building, practicing letter formation on the white board and "free choice," which was playing with "Rescue Hero" figures.
A reminder that:
-Gym is tomorrow as well. Please have your child come dressed in his/her gym uniform
-Ticket money for the gala is due by tomorrow the latest.
-Scholastic book orders have been sent out. They are due by Friday, February 10, 2012.
Happy Tuesday, everyone!
