Books We Read
Terry's Story
(we didn't actually read it, but I showed the students pictures and explained the story of Terry Fox and why we run for him every year)
We Share Everything
A Sick Day for Amos McGee
The Pet Dragon
Weekly Poem/Song
(to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it")
Where do you start your letters? At the top!
Where do you start your letters? At the top!
If you want to write a letter then you better, better, better
Remember to start it at the top!
Is this the top, top, top? No, it's the bottom!
Is this the top, top, top? No, it's the middle!
Is this the top, top, top? Yes, it's the top, top, top!
Remember to start it at the top!
Weekly Centres
Language
We worked on writing the letter "F" (remembering that our letters start at the top!) both on chalkboards and on sand.
Math
We sorted a rainbow of bears into lines of numbers.
Art
We each designed our own hero (super or otherwise), giving them names and powers.
Science
Using the water table, we started making scientific predictions about whether objects would sink or float.
Sand Table
Sand was used as a free play centre this week, as students shared the different sand toys.
Other Things We Did
We came up with definitions for "hero" (somebody who helps or saves people) and "prediction" (a thinking guess).
We worked on the concept of bigger and smaller using numbers.
We kept changing our predictions of how many days are in the school year.
We learned how to find books in the library. Soon, we'll start taking them home!
