Week 19

Another week has come and gone! Time is flying and the students are
flourishing! This week our two Super Heroes were Ave Maria and Max.
Ave Maria read us a Dora book and Max read a Paw Patrol book. The
class loves to hear their friends read to them. The children are doing
an incredible job sharing a story with such a large crowd! Love, love
love!!!

Language: This week we celebrated International Opposite Day. We


had fun exploring opposites throughout the day. Our Writers
Workshop this week was _______ is the opposite of _______. The
picture side of the writers workshop is improving for many of our
friends! Keep it up! We also looked at new sight words this week: and,
are, can, for, go. We review these sight words as much as possible.
Also, the children continue to enjoy reviewing these sight words
through Heidi Songsso much fun!!!
We continued our discussion of The Mitten. This week we read
another version of the story by Jim Aylesworth. We used a Venn
diagram to compare the characters between the two stories.

We began round two of alphabet practice. We concentrated on Letters


Aa and Bb.
Phys. Ed: On Wednesday we finished up our skill building of passing
and catching. We will begin to focus on basic gymnastic skills such as
balancing and proper landings. Gymnastics is hoped to begin next week.
Mrs. Williams also discussed healthy choices during Power to Play. The
Great Food experiment is a great way for students to try something
they otherwise may not! I think even some of us adults get into a rut of
not wanting to try something new! Lets encourage this generation to
be brave and inquisitive!
Art: This week we read the story The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack
Keats. We created fake snow and the children showed us their
interpretation of the story by making prints on their own pages!
Science: We had fun this week painting with ice cubes with food
colouring in them. Students saw what would happen when they painted
with a coloured cubeit was messy and fun, though the colours on the
paper were not very rich. We figured out the colours were being
watered down by the melting ice. We also saw what happened when we
mixed equal parts of flour, salt and water.you get fake snow (once
dried)! Winter Blast was a hit! We went outside and sprayed snow
with water and food colouring and enjoyed our outdoors. We played a
variety of indoor games as well. The Ice Cube Melting Game was a hit!
Try it at home with your child.
Math: This week we focused on triangles, octagons and ovals! The
students are doing great with our 2-D shapes unit thus far. Encourage
them to point out shapes they see at home or when out and about!

Religion: We began a focus on parables this week. We discussed that


parables are stories from the bible that help to teach the rest of us a
lesson.
We had our gorgeous baby Evelyn return to our class for a Roots of
Empathy visit! The focus this visit was on the contents of her mommys
diaper bag. Students discussed the things that were necessary to
carry around regularly when youre a parent. Its a heavy load!!!
