This Week:

We had a great first full week in Room 3! This week we reviewed our classroom rules and expectations. In Literacy we introduced our Letter of the Day. Each day this week we investigated a new letter, brainstormed as a class things that begin with that letter and practiced printing these letters. We also made a classroom book called "Rockin' in My New School Shoes!" which was inspired by Pete the Cat Rockin' in my School Shoes by Eric Litwin. In Math, we have been looking at different strategies we can use when adding. We also learned a new game using 10 Frames, a dice played with a partner or in a group. 

The students also enjoyed time in Music class this week with Mrs. McMillian.

We also had our first visit to the gym this week where we learned some new cooperative games. The students have Phys-Ed time each day where we will play games and learn new skills.

We went on a walk in our school neighbourhood and did a scavenger hunt looking for all of the different signs we see in our community. We talked about what all of the different signs mean and how signs can give us useful information.

 

We have enjoyed a variety of art projects this week! We have been busy decorating our classroom with all of your little artists touch! 

Today Mr. Buchanan dropped off Slurpees for all of the staff at Terrace Road School. The kids were very interested in all of the different flavours in the slurpee and wanted to give it a taste. So we divided the slurpee up and shared it. Room 3 students were excited about this special and unexpected treat! We had such a fun week in Room 3! I have loved getting to know your learners so far!

I am looking forward to another great week next week! 

Please feel free to connect with me if you have questions or comments!

Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!
