Special Events: Pan-Am Presentation!

Today we got to attend a presentation about the Pan-Am games! We learned that there are 41 countries participating in over 50 sports! The soccer event will be held in Hamilton. The boys in our class were super excited about that!

Literacy: Retell

Watch the video below if your child is reading at a level 3 or higher to understand the next stage in reading development; understanding and explaining what happened in the story :)

Picture Post!

Here is a mid-week picture post for you :) Enjoy!

We've dubbed Izze the official photo bomber in our classroom :D

Some friends exploring our new sensory bin, filled with soil! 

Brainstorming ways to help our friends :)

Guided reading with one of my JK groups!

Miss Smith taught us a lesson on adding today! We learned different ways we can add :)

Nevaeha brought in her Hello Kitty camera for show and tell and we took lots of pictures! I am obsessed with how these turned out!! I definitely want one for our classroom so I can post them on the door :D

 

Literacy: ING

Watch the video below to learn about one of the last sounds we will learn about... because we've learned them all (the important ones, anyway)! Learn about 'ing' below :)

Special Events: Guest Speaker - Digital Marketing

Today, Izze's dad joined us to tell us all about his job as a digital marketer. We learned that the fastest way to send a message to someone else in the world is by using the internet (contrary to the popular "rocket" and "jet" theory!). His job is to help people and companies get their message out to the world by using the internet!

We learned that some companies don't have a logo, so he makes one for them. We even got to design a logo for our class Friend Ship! We are so excited to see the final result :) Thanks for joining us!

Special Events: Heritage Day Info

As most of you know, we are having our heritage day this Friday. All surveys were due today, (Monday, April 13th) but please continue to send them in throughout the week. We're still waiting on 16. Miss Smith and I are excited to learn about the backgrounds of our students :) We are using this information to help us prep for Friday.

Please make sure your child knows the following before Friday:

1. They know which country they are representing

2. They can share an artifact/flag/etc. with the class or share something they know about their country

We will be having a sharing circle in the middle of the day so all students can share about their heritage :) We will use the surveys to help students out if they forget!

Please consider bringing in a small sampling of food from your country. Bite size pieces for 30 students would be perfect. I would love to see and taste different kinds of foods from around the world! Please remember to keep them nut and meat free :) Miss Smith and I will be bringing something in from our home countries, too!

Don't forget to dress in your country's colours, or wear anything specific to their native attire. I look forward to this very special day!! :)

Picture Post :)

Here is a picture post from this week! :) I hope you enjoy!

Miss Smith showed us an art activity today. She cut up a "perfect square" (which we read when Treasa was here) and used them as a tangram! It's like a puzzle that you can always put back together in a square, or make into a new design :)

Izze made a motorcycle!
