Week of Feb 24th

Our letter of the week is "d" and our word of the week is "do".  The students loved singing our poem "Do You Like Broccoli" and finding all the 'do's in the poem.  

Today we worked on measurement and counting with animals and cubes.  The kids drew pictures of their animals and added numbers and words to their work.  Their job was to measure and count how big their animal was using cubes and to explain how they measured it (length or height).

In the afternoon, we looked at 4 snowmen and wrote down what was different between them.  It was our version of a "Spot the Difference" activity.  The children were so good at finding everything and they seemed to really enjoy doing it.

Today was a warm and sunny day and as a result, many children came in with wet pants and socks. Please ensure that your child has extra socks and pants at school.  This week is going to have a mixture of weather so I am predicting more soakers to come!  


We are beginning to talk about Lent and the journey toward Easter. On Wednesday, we will be joining the whole school in the gym for our Lenten liturgy. As we continue our Lenten journey, we are deepening our discussions about kindness and friendship.

This week, we will also be participating in the Rocks and Rings curling activity in the gym. It is a busy week for sure. Please note that there is no longer any strike action planned for Tuesday this week and the school will be open.
