Day 108

Good evening,

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

Phonics: Today, students reviewed the “V/v” sound, letter, and song. Students practiced identifying and printing words that contain the “V/v” sound.

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

Journals: Today, students completed journal entries that started with the phrase “In our solar system…” Students completed this entry by telling something they have learned about our solar system. Some students wrote about the moon and the stars. Others created lists of the planets or constellations such as the Big Dipper.

Lunch/ Recess 1

Math: Today, students continued learning about Place Value. Students practiced creating groups of 10 to make counting more efficient. Students completed an activity that involved creating groups of 10 and including the remainders as 1s in order to represent two digit numbers. Students used pictures, numerals, and charts to display their findings.

Unit of Inquiry: Today, students created rocketships and the Sun using a variety of materials. Students used tissue paper to create a model of the Sun.

Taking Action

Action is a very significant aspect of the IB learning process. In the PYP Program, students will engage in 6 Unit of Inquiries (UOI) throughout the school year, with each unit being approximately 6 weeks long. During each UOI, 3 students from the class will be assigned as the “Action Stars”, which means that they are encouraged to use what has been learned and apply it to the “real world.” The purpose of this initiative is to help further knowledge about what has been learned within the classroom. Example: If we are learning about recycling, students might go home and tell you that they want to implement a recycling program with you at home, or they may do something simple like telling you that something you were throwing in the garbage may be recycled. Students who are not assigned this role for the current UOI being taught are still encouraged to show ACTION! Action comes in many forms; it might be something small to something very large, but as long as the children understand the concepts, action is important no matter the size! Please check out our Action board in our classroom to see all our fabulous learners.
