Day 71

Good evening,

Music: Please see Ms. Hayward’s blog for more information.

Calendar: Today’s calendar was led by Ahaan. Great job Ahaan!


French: Please see Mlle Jessica’s blog for more information.

Phonics: Today, students were introduced to the Long “U/u” sound. Students watched a video called “Geraldine learns the /u_e/ sound.” After this, students brainstormed words that contain the “U/u” sound.




Lunch/ Recess 1

Math: Today, students practiced some of the addition strategies that we have been learning so far. Students also practiced adding by counting on from the bigger number. For example, in the question 2 + 9, students would count 2 more from 9, rather than counting 9 more from 2.






Unit of Inquiry: Today, students read a story called “The Berenstain Bears Meet Santa Bear.” This story emphasized the importance of focusing on giving rather than receiving at Christmas. Students discussed different opportunities that they have to give to or help others during this season.



Lunch/ Recess 2
