Our word of the week is "it". Please continue to point out our popcorn words while reading with your child. This week we are also starting a letter of the week. We will focus on the letter t this week. We talked about the sound "t" makes as well as came up with words that started with t.
We have also been talking about Remembrance Day and how lucky we are to live in such a safe and wonderful country. We read a few books on Remembrance Day and this sparked an interest in creating poppy art. These turned out so gorgeous!!! We also made "stained glass" crosses incorporating patterns. The students loved the finished product and we're very proud of their work.
In Phys. Ed today, we played with the parachute. At the end, it turned into a mini math lesson proving that math is all around us. The students wanted to fold the parachute so that it was even and neat. They collaborated and did a great job!
