Day 45

Good evening,

Remembrance Day Presentation: We observed a moment of silence, and discussed what a poppy represents, as well as the importance of Remembrance Day.

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

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

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

Lunch/ Recess 1

Math: Today, students wrote the patterning assessment. Students did a great job asking questions when they needed help, and creating a positive learning environment by engaging in a quiet activity when they finished their math. Well done everyone! Net week we will be starting a new unit called Data Management.

Phonics: Today, the students reviewed the “L/l” sound, actions and songs. They also completed an activity to practice writing this letter, as well as identifying words that contain the “L/l” sound. Then Ronan, Diyya, Veer, and Ahaan presented their Show and Share to the class. Thank you for bringing in an item with your assigned sound!

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.
