- Friday is PJ and Teddy Bear day for United Way!
Today was an interesting day, where students were surprised with a chance to watch a movie with all the other grade 1, 2, and 3 students! As your child is sure to tell you, we were short three teachers today with no supplies available to cover. In order to make sure that all students were supervised, the primary division had a chance to relax and unwind in the learning commons in the morning and watch a movie; they were even treated to an extra long morning recess! What a beautiful sunny day to enjoy this weather and get some extra exercise!
Students came back to class in the afternoon refreshed and ready to learn. We had one of the best Daily 5 times this year, with students working hard on each station. I was able to work one-on-one as well as with some small groups of students during this time, and everybody was eager to work.
After Daily 5 we completed some science work. We are finishing up our unit on Animals and students are completing their own mini booklets about the 6 different classifications of animals. It is easy to see all the learning they have done these past couple of months!
We ended with math today, where we reviewed pictographs and had a chance to visit different stations and practice drawing pictographs in a hands-on way. There were 10 stations with a brown paper bag at each station containing a variety of "mystery" objects. Students worked in pairs, dumped out the contents of each bag, and created their own pictograph to represent the data found in the bag. Students loved doing this!!
Looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings!
