Check out our latest songs

Hello/Bonjour!
I have just added our 2 latest songs to the blog under our French songs link section, both about 'le printemps' or springtime.  The children have been enjoying them in class and we are listening for words that we know in French!  Please check them out at home!

Letter and Word of the Week

This week, we are looking at the letter "n".  Lots of our friends have an "n" in their name! The students have been busy discovering lots of words in books that have an "n" in it. Please keep encouraging them to point out letters around them as well as practising their associated sounds.

Our word of the week is "no". We had lots of fun chanting out our no song.  Ask your child to sing it for you!

We are lucky to have Yaki coming to perform for us tomorrow.  It should be a fun morning for the students!

Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather.  We go outside if it's sunny, damp, cold etc.  Whatever Mother Nature throws at us, we adapt!

Here are some pictures from yesterday:

Welcome Back!

We had a great first day back! The students were surprised to see tiny green foot prints on the classroom floor.  The leprechaun traps were set up before the break and to our surprise, a leprechaun was trapped!  The kids LOVED it!

Our letters of the week are "th".  The teachers were amazed at the list of "th" words that the students generated.  Our word of the week is "the".  Check out the pictures showing the super writing samples from today.

We welcomed Spring today by talking about the seasonal changes that will be happening hopefully soon! The kids took an interest in rainbows and created beautiful rainbow art.

Reminders:

Please send back the quiet time blankets as well as extra socks and pants.  Once the snow starts melting, the students tend to get soakers and wet pant legs.

Happy March Break!

The leprechauns of Room 138 would like to wish you all a HAPPY and restful break!

The leprechaun traps are coming home today as well as the quiet time blankets.  They need a good washing!

Have a great week!

Week of March 6th

It's hard to believe that it's March 7th and we are having another snow day!

This week our letter of the week is "h" and our word of the week is "he".  Please continue to point these out during nightly reading.

We are busy making leprechaun traps and getting reading for St. Patrick's Day. We are hoping someone in the class is able to catch one!

This Week in Rm 138

Today was a very productive day full of exploring and creating.  The kids enjoyed painting flowers to help make Spring come quicker!  Their paintings looked so beautiful and have made the classroom feel so cheery!

Our letters of the week are the "sh" blend.  The teachers were amazed at the "sh" words that the kids came up with.   Our word of the week is "she".  The sk students are really coming along with their writing skills and are using their sounds to write great sentences.  I have included pictures of their writing.

We also worked on making ABC books after reading LMNO Peas.  The kids were really focused and loved making their own books.

In Math,  we are working on graphing as well as finding more than one way to make a number.  The students enjoyed using manipulative to compose numbers and explain how they did it.

We talked about the upcoming Lenten Season and how we will be making a Lenten promise for 40 days.  On Wednesday we will be having a liturgy for Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent.  Your child will be receiving the ashes during this liturgy.

Reminders:

  • Please ensure that your child has extra socks and a spare set of clothes.
  • Please send in cutlery if needed in your child's lunch
  • Please send back your child's library book by Wednesday
