We had an awesome surprise from the North Pole!!! Santa replied to ALL our letters! The students had SO much fun reading their letter to the class. Copies of these letters were sent home on Friday. Make sure you check your child's mailbag for them. The originals were kept and will be put into your child's portfolio, which they will receive at the end of the year.
Thank you to all the parents who sent in snacks for our brunch! It was a delicious meal!
The students enjoyed playing some board games. Battleship, Checkers and Old Maid were some of the favourites.
We read the story "Mooseltoe", the students practiced lines to a reader's theatre and then they performed! They did a GREAT job!
We did some spelling review this week, by playing WORDO. The students chose 20 words off our word wall for our "word bank". Then they created their own WORDO board using 9 of the 20 words.
The students had the opportunity to do some buddy reading with 3D.They loved choosing new friends to read to!
For handwriting this week, we learned the letters Kk and Ff. The students were so excited to spell FORCHUK!
We also worked on an activity called "Value of Words". The students used our word wall words and addition to figure how much they were worth.
For Social, we read the story "Lights for Gita". This story talks about the Indian celebration, Diwali. We also watched a little video about the celebration. Ask your child to tell you what Diwali is.
We also read from our mini books on India. We have now finished our study of India and following the break, we will have a cultural day celebrating India food and culture.
Congratulations to our students who have read 1200, 1800 and 3000 minutes!! If your child has not made it to 1200 minutes, please spend some time reading over the holidays.
