Hello!!!

Hello everyone,

First of all, congratulations to our class for winning the Library Book Drive!! We will be feasting on yummy chicken wings in the near future to celebrate this. Thanks to everyone who brought in books to support the book drive and the school!!

We started off the day with discussing the signs of spring (i.e. raining, grass turning green, flowers blooming). We also brainstormed all of the things we thought we would see outside on our walk. Everyone had such good ideas, which included twigs, squirrels, chipmunks, trees, the sun and other fun things outside. After doing this, we set out on our outdoor walk and were accompanied by our fellow reading buddies from Ms. Chang's class. We had so much fun outside!!!

After we returned, we had snack time. Following snack time was story time and then we learned about the letter Nn. We learned about the sound of Nn and also practiced tracing and writing it. 

After lunch, we talked about our feelings and discussed being “sad” and “scared” in more detail. We also talked about manners as well in order to perfect our manners around others. We worked on more letter worksheets and then had French followed by music class. 

Following second lunch, we had centers. The three centers were tracing our names, sorting (easter coloured pom poms and coloured marbles) and alphabet play doh. That sums up our day!!
