Good evening all!

Today, on our special Casual Day, we started off by going on a 'letter hunt'. Everyone had to go around the classroom and look for a coloured foam letter and sit down. We each discussed our own letter, its sound and came up with words that started with this letter. I received such a good response from everyone last week playing this game, that I thought I would give it another try today. We did this until we went through every letter in the alphabet.

Following this, we sang our letter sounds song and practiced saying the sounds of each letter. After first lunch, we talked about the differences between reptiles and mammals. I asked students to tell me different types of animals that are either reptiles or those that are mammals. After reviewing this, each student was required to cut out different animals and glue them into one of two correct boxes: 1) reptiles  or 2) mammals.

Following this, they had French and then music. After second lunch, we ended the day in a relaxing way with centers. By the end of the day, this is the time they have to learn while working together in groups, which are changed each time.

A few reminders for next week:

-Wednesday is Spirit Day. Dress your child in white/green clothing
-Thursday is the Reptile show
-Regular gym days will be in effect as of next week

Have a wonderful night!
