Parent Teacher Conferences:

I want to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to connect with me regarding your child's learning. You are their first teachers and know them the best so it is great to hear from you and have your support in their success and learning at school.

This Week We:

Worked on our All About Me Projects. The students enjoyed making a life size portrait of themselves and had fun taking a closer look at all of their special details that make them unique. We played a "guess who" game using the baby pictures you sent in. The students loved guessing which baby was which student. We talked about how each student has changed and how they have stayed the same. We also learned why we were given our special names. 

The students wrote about what their favourite parts of themselves were and also looked at words that described their identity. 

In Math we looked at counting by 2's and 5's and discussed the patterns that we see in those numbers.

In Music we began learning the music pieces we will be performing at the Winter Performance on Dec 12.

It was a fun day of learning and playing in Room 3! We cannot believe that next week it is already December and that Winter Solstice and Christmas are approaching so quickly.

Wishing you an enjoyable weekend with your families,

Miss Karly :)

This Week We:

Went Swimming!! Swimming was a highlight for all of our friends in Room 3. We had so much fun in the pool, being brave and trying new things. We read the book Jabari Jumps and it is a story about a boy who is feeling nervous and scared to jump off the diving board. When he finally works up the courage to try it, he finds it was so much fun and wants to do it again and again.

We began our All About Me projects and looked at our Special Name. We did some name art, and researched what our special name means. This was super fun to learn about. We also read the book The Best Part of Me and wrote about the best part of ourselves. 

On Thursday, we made fruit salad. The students washed, cut, stirred and served the fruit! It was a lot of fun and most of the students really enjoyed it and had more than one helping! ;)

We also continued learning about Patterns in Math. Next week we will look at number patterns, such as skip counting by 2's, 5's and 10's.

Wishing you all a wonderful cozy weekend!

REMINDER:

Swimming Starts on Monday! Our swimming lessons begin on Monday. Students are asked to wear their swimsuits to school and bring a change of clothes with them to the pool in a separate waterproof bag. They will also need underwear and a towel, and students may want to bring goggles. You may consider sending a hair brush/hair ties for after their lesson. We have noticed that students are extra hungry on days when they have swimming lessons, so we recommend packing a few extra snacks. Please do not send money with your child for the vending machine, as they will not be allowed to use it.

Welcome back to a fun week in Room 3. I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable Fall Break.

This week was short and sweet. We enjoyed sharing details of our break during sharing, we did some journal writing and have spent some time the last two days learning about and practicing creating and extending patterns.

Next week we will begin an All About Me project! :) 

Have a great week!

Miss Karly :)

This week in Room 3:

Literacy - This week we shared about our weekend and wrote our weekend reports. We did a good job exploring our independent word work centres. We were engaged and lots of learning was happening. In discussion about Remembrance Day, we looked at the book "What is Peace?" By Todd Parr. The students had an opportunity to write about when they feel at Peace. We also practiced answering WH questions when looking at a picture. At the end of the week, we wrote in our journal. The question of the day was "Would you rather be a fish or a bird? Why?" We are working on answering questions with full sentences and adding details to our writing. We also read the poem, Recess, and practiced counting syllables and identifying nouns. 

Social Learning - This week we looked at the emotion, Scared. We talked about what it feels like in our bodies when we feel scared, and strategies we can use when we feel scared.

Math - This week in Math we made Beaded Number Lines, practiced using them and continued our unit on Patterns. 

Art - This week we made a sun-catcher poppy wreath. It turned out beautifully. :)

Gym - This week we played some cooperative games, and continued practicing our Basketball skills.

Please send me an email if you would like your child to have a picture retake done so I can ensure they get a picture.

Wishing you a relaxing and enjoyable Fall Break with your families.
