Our letter of the week is "I, i" and the word of the week is I. Please continue to practice letter recognition and sound association with your child.
Today we had a jam packed day! We used math all day! The children were challenged to build a fence to hold 5 rats using the materials put out for them. Once they were successful with their fence, they counted the cubes and sticks used. We learned that the cubes make the fence very stable which helps to hold the rats on the popsicle sticks.
We also worked on problem solving involving math. The question posed to the students was how many legs do 2 spiders have. There was a toy spider on the table to help guide the kids. Many students were intrigued by this question and showed different ways to solve the question. They did a great job using pictures, numbers and words on their page.
This week we will be talking about Remembrance Day and how lucky we are to live in such a safe and wonderful country. We read a story about peace called "What is Peace". The children were asked what they thought peace was. Please look at the picture below. Their examples of peace are absolutely adorable. We also learned a song today called "I've Got Peace in My Fingers". The children loved it and learned it quickly! On Monday, we will be having a visit from one of out parents who is in the Canadian Armed Forces. We are always so grateful for his visit and are looking forward to seeing him in Room 138!
