Week 23

Our pet plant is now also officially dead. When we start our plant life cycles unit in science perhaps we will be much better at keeping things alive...

Now we take care of a jar of water.

We got to start using the climber in gym this week, it is awesome! Today in gym Mr. Collins told us it was the last day of the gymnastics stations and that next week MISSION IMPOSSIBLE begins! Because the climber is out open gym will be cancelled for this week and next week.

  

Today we had our Roots of Empathy baby visits! Baby Lena sat up for the first time all by herself today! It was neat to see and exciting for her mom!

Tomorrow is the Kindergarten assembly, we are so excited to see our little friends share their learning in their first assembly!

This week in math we have been learning more about patterns and multiplication. We learned about attributes this week in patterns, some attributes in a pattern can be shape, size, colour, position, thickness (2D or 3D) and number. Ask me what these words mean! Next week we are going to continue learning about our times tables by going into 7's, 8's, 9's and 10's!

    

We had our first right to play assembly of the year! Right to Play is an organization where it goes to different countries to teach children learning games to help improve learning. We got to keep a ball called "Red" to remind us of the importance of the connection between play and learning.

We read a very funny tumble book called "Joseph's Big Ride" we laughed and laughed. It was about a girl that had a bike, a guy named Joseph/ Tomorrow Hey that wanted to ride her bike. Turns out the boy was talking to the bike and not the girl and it was all very humorous and confusing and had awful grammar!

This week we have been continuing to write our story drafts. They are really coming along and we are beginning to realize how much work it is to write a story and what it must actually be like to be an author.

In writing we took a break from our story writing for one day with Ms. N and Ms. V (our student teachers who come every Wednesday to learn about how to become a teacher) who showed us a video called "Carrot Crazy!" We had to do a similar activity to when we watched "The Dot." We stopped the video and had to write about how we thought it would end. We came up with tons of creative ideas! Watch the video below:

Today we had lunch this week... everyday. Yum. One day was even a pizza fun lunch, extra yum!

Yesterday was pink shirt day, check out the blog post we made about it! 

Until next time,

Love,

Room 7 & 8
