Hello!

Today, we started off by discussing and going over the different languages that people say hello in. I asked the class to be inquirers and to tell me what their favourite way of saying hello was. Some said aloha, some said jambo, and some said Ciao. So, I showed them the different countries that these ways of hello were said in. I showed them pictures of Kenya, Italy (my favourite country!), and Hawaii. Everyone was so fascinated and intrigued by the pictures and aesthetic differences between each place. 


After, I read another book for our unit of inquiry called the Little Red Hen. After reading this book, using a hen puppet, we discussed the meaning of this book: to help others when they are in need. After, we coloured and decorated our own hen puppets. 


We went into language arts and practiced tracing the letter Bb. While doing this, I put on music by a famous composer Tchaikovsky, who composed songs for my favourite kind of dance, Ballet, and play, the Nutcracker. It was relaxing and definitely got everyone's minds stimulated and working well!!


We also read two books by Robert Munsch (He's the best!) called Thomas' Snowsuit and Moose!  Everyone enjoyed hearing these stories, as do they always when it comes to books written by Robert Munsch. 


We also had French and Music.
