2 special visitors shared their knowledge with us today!

Today, we were fortunate enough to have two special visitors: Saa'kokoto and Ajay from Sound Kreations! Ask me about the stories about the bear at winter that Saa'kokoto told us and what we did with Ajay. We also have a new seating arrangement and calendar for March. Ask me why we coloured in a rainbow for Math and what it has to do with addition. We also finished some Science work on Winter and some of us worked on our snowmen scarves.

Below the photos are our words of the week. The March newsletter is coming out shortly.

100 French words

We started a book yesterday with the 100 words we've learned so far this year! Ask me what words I wrote yesterday and which ones I wrote today. The rest of the day was taken up by the large amount of unfinished work, watching a special presentation our buddy class did (ask me about my favourite part; hint: a reader's theatre presentation on a book by Robert Munsch) and a lockdown. We did such a great job in the lockdown - Mme was really proud of us!!

A sea of pink!

There were many pink shirts in the classroom today! We had a great discussion with Mme this morning about peer conflict and bullying. Ask me if I remember what criteria bullying needs to meet to be considered bullying (repetitive, intentionally hurtful, and a power imbalance (last one is a tough concept!)). We had centres today; one of them was simply cleaning our desks. ;) We also were fortunate enough to have more help with making our bonhomme de neige. Ask me what mine looks like! We went to library today as well.

Scholastic Forms Home Today - pls return by Friday

Today, we found the sound 'oi' in various words. We worked on adding doubles in math as well as the math talk of "The sum is 15. What is the question?" (5+5+5, 10+5, 0+15, etc.) Ask me what my answer was. We also went to gym and music today. We read a book called  "Sois Toi Même" by Todd Parr. We finished Friendology as well today. Ask me to finish the sentence: "No friendship is _____." and why this is important to remember.

Reminder from Mme Harbinson that tomorrow is library day and Pink Shirt Day.

New tracking system for French

We had a great pyjama day celebrating the French we've been learning in class. We even got to watch a bit of Toupie et Binou (a great way to increase our French knowledge is listening to short episodes in French). We have started a new system where once we get 10 signatures from Mme on a sticky, we get to bring it home for our parents. We have a new sound today! The words of the week have gone home today in our pochettes bleues. We also had math, gym, journal time and buddies today. Ask me what I worked hard at today!
Reminders from Mme: Wednesday is library day AND pink shirt day.

A great Friday!

Wow! We had truly a great day. Mme (and we) said that it was a huge improvement to yesterday! Bravo moi!
Today, we finished more of our 100s centres, had music and finished some work from the week. 

100s day centres

Today, we did centres celebrating our 100th day of school. We did art with our 100s cutouts (thank you parent volunteers for cutting at home!), we pieced together a 100s chart, we counted out Fruit Loops and made necklaces (only for decoration, not to eat we were told - unless parents choose otherwise, of course), we built with 100 cups, we found 100 numbers out of order, and many more. We will finish the rest tomorrow (hopefully!).
We also got a new sound of the week today - ask me what it is and a word with it in it. Finally, we had music. In music and in our class, we needed to have a discussion around behaviour expectations. This includes those times when Mme is not around, such as lunch hour and recess. It is more challenging to monitor our own behaviour during these times but Mme believes we truly can do it. Additionally, we all agreed that we would try another week of bringing in items from home to play with at recess if we choose but that if Mme continues to see them during our learning time, we will need to keep them at home.
Following our are words of the week. Mme's substitute teacher forgot to introduce them so see if I can read them as I'm seeing them for the first time.
