Day 78

Good evening,

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



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

Phonics: Today, students were introduced to the “ai” sound, letters, and song. Students watched a video called “Geraldine learns the /ai/ sound.” After this, students brainstormed a list of words with that contain the “ai” sound.



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

Journals: Today, students wrote journal entries about a community helper that they would like to be when they grow up. Students used words and pictures to communicate their ideas.



Fire Alarm: Today, we experienced an unexpected fire alarm in the building. As a staff, we were able to evacuate the students safely and in a timely fashion from the building. Please be aware that we do not conduct fire drills and evacuations during the winter months. We responded to this situation according to our emergency protocol. Students were outside for ten minutes waiting in line while we followed proper protocol to ensure every child was accounted for. At this time, we then made our way over to Meadowvale rinks to have shelter from the cold. Once the fire department gave the go ahead we returned back to the building. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Ms. Smith.

Lunch/ Recess 1

Math: Today, students started learning about subtraction. Students were introduced to subtraction signs and sentences. Students are learning to recognize how many are left, when a number of objects are taken away. Students practiced the "Cross-out" Method as a strategy for doing subtraction.





Assembly: Today students had an assembly to prepare for the Jump Rope for Heart event that is taking place on February 20, 2018. Students are encouraged to collect donations for the Heart and Stroke Foundation leading up to this date.
