We had a very busy week. Here are some photos to show you all the learning that has happened.

Weekly Poem/Song

Every week a new poem or song is introduced. We read/sing it many times throughout the week. This week we learned our classmates’ names by singing “Higgelty Piggelty”.

Math Exploration

Many of our math lessons so far have involved playing with numbers and patterns. Beginning next week, the Kindergarten students will join Ms. Grippo’s class for K math lessons every day. Her Gr. 1s will join our Gr. 1 students in my room for Gr. 1 math.

Hands-on Learning

We will be using playdough for many learning opportunities. Today we were counting how many little balls of playdough we cn make and we made the letters in our name.

Letters of the Week

This week we focused on M and S for our activities. The Gr. 1 lessons involve listening for the sounds at the beginning and end of words and correct letter formation in printing books. The K lessons involve more of learning the letter sounds with some whiteboard printing.

Terry Fox Run

Everyone enjoyed running like Terry today. Here we are stretching pre-run with our race #s on.
