Day 141


Good evening,

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



Phonics: Today, students reviewed the “Oi/oi” sound, letters, and song. Students completed an activity to practice identifying and printing words that contain the “Oi/oi” sound.





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

Arts Night Rehearsal: Today, students rehearsed their song “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood.” Students also decided which role they would like to have in our neighbourhood skit. Here is a list of each person’s role. We discussed what the costume would be like for each person and what props they would like to bring. We have neighbours who are gardening, delivering mail, riding a bike, or returning home from work. We have neighbours who are going on a picnic, or mowing the lawn. We also have neighbours taking a dog for a walk, as well as our two narrators Mr. Rogers. I will provide a recording of the music so that students can also practice singing at home.



Lunch/ Recess 1

Math: Today, students reviewed how to measure capacity. Students discussed how the tallest container cannot always hold the greatest volume. Students then made predictions about how many more scoops or items would be required to fill a container or to have a container at full capacity.





Unit of Inquiry: Today, students discussed the feeling of sadness. We read a book called Franklin’s Secret Club. Students discussed how they feel sad when they are left out. Students discussed how we know when someone is sad, and different strategies to help them feel better. Many students suggested ways to make sure that everyone is included. They also recognized how sometimes we need a bit of time or space before we are ready to talk about how we feel.

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

Have a wonderful evening!!
