We have been learning about the life cycle of pumpkins. These are posted on the bulletin boards in our hallway.
Month: October 2018
Pumpkin, Pumpkin
Today we read this story in preparation for our look at pumpkins and their life cycle. We will be further discussing this and doing some activities around pumpkins. The week will be topped off with our trip to the farm on Friday. We are looking forward to our joint experience.
We are thankful for … and some turkeys🦃
We met with our Buddy classes – Divisions 1 and 3 – last week and made feathers on which we wrote our names. Our big buddies then helped us to write a thing we are thankful for on the feather. We then decorated the feathers. These are on the bulletin boards in the hallway outside of our classroom. We will be doing a variety of activities with our buddies as we will be meeting each Tuesday morning for a half hour.
These feathers are joined by the turkeys they made in class. These were done with pencil crayons and tissue paper. Students also practised their cutting out skills. Gobble, gobble.
Jolly Phonics
We have completed our second week of Jolly Phonics lessons. Last week we did the letters s, a, t, and i. This week we did p, n, c/k, and e. We have a lesson on most days. The blue duotangs are sent home each Friday with the pages of the letters learned that week. Thank you for helping your child with their practice on the weekends. Please remember to send the duotangs back to school after the weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Students worked in partnerships to brainstorm ideas of things that they are thankful for this year. They depicted these things in pictures and in words. These posters are on a bulletin board in our classroom.
