Day 137

Good evening,

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



Phonics: Today, students reviewed the “Ou/ou” sound, letters, and song. Students used playdough and whiteboards to practice drawing and designing words and objects that contain the “Ou/ou” sound.






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

Journal: Today students created and designed cards. Students practiced addressing the cards, as well as signing who the card is from. Students practiced creating a front cover, and inside, and the back of a card. They practiced writing from left to right, and filling the space on the page.

Lunch/ Recess 1

Math: Today, students continued practicing measuring length. Students made an estimate, or educated guess, and measured objects in the classroom using different non-standard units (snapcubes, paperclips, straws, erasers). Students recognized the importance of making sure objects are lined up in order to make comparisons about which objects are longer, shorter, or the same length. Students recorded their findings in their math books.





Unit of Inquiry: Today, students started their Unit of Inquiry into How We Express Ourselves. Students are exploring different feelings and emotions. Today, we explored the feeling of being “Happy.” Students sang “If You’re Happy and You Know It” and played a game called “If You’re Happy, Won’t You Please, Please Smile?” Students had a great discussion about things that make them feel happy, and how they know when someone else is feeling happy.



Lunch/ Recess 2

Gym: Please see Ms. Yustin’s blog for more information.

Have a wonderful evening!!
