Shrove Tuesday!

Today we began the day with a pancake eating contest between the houses during the morning assembly. KIP won!

 

 

 

Next, JKs had snacks and morning circle time.
Then we worked on our penmanship skills using our Handwriting Without Tears workbook. JKs had some time to draw a city with roads and signs on a big cardboard paper. They loved it! Take a look:

After lunch and recess we had the daily five listen to reading and had a little bit of time for centers right after French.
After second recess we had reading buddies.
Have a great evening everyone!

Happy Monday!

Then JKs attended French class. Next, we played musical chairs just as a brain break! :)

To finish off the day JKs had Art class with Ms. Kerr.

Happy Thursday!

We had a busy day today!
We began the morning with gym class, Art class and morning circle time.
Next, JKs had the daily five read to self and reading groups. Again reading groups is when I gather 2-3 students at time to practice good reading strategies.
After lunch we used magnet letters to help us build words.

Then JKs had French class and we practiced numeracy by looking at the number in the jar and placing the correct amount of manipulatives.
After second recess we read books and packed up. Btw second recess was fantastic! +19 and sunny, have never seen my little friends so happy! :)

To finish off the day we all sat in the auditorium as an audience to practice for tomorrow. The three students from our class who are going to compete tomorrow, also had the chance to recite  their poem on stage with the microphone. Good luck to them! :)
Have a great evening everyone!

Foggy Wednesday!

I hope everyone had a safe drive this morning!
Today we had gym, snacks and morning circle time.
Next, we read a story about bullying: "Bullies Never Win"
Then JKs paired up to play a game where they had to match the picture with the beginning sound/letter.
After lunch we had the daily five - read to self and read to someone. Next, JKs had French.
After second lunch and recess we had centers where students explored manipulatives with the objective of developing fine motor skills.
Have a great evening everyone!

What a great day!

Next we made crowns where JKs received 10 stripes of paper to put 10 of the following: stamp, draw or put stickers. That way we would sum up to 100 pictures!
In the afternoon we read stories about the 100th Day of School, had French class and practiced our poems.
After second recess/lunch we used popcorn to count into groups of 10s and to use for 1:1 correspondence.
Have a great long weekend everyone!
Ps. In celebrating the 100th Day of School, these quotes came to my mind...
