Dr. Seuss Day!

Our class, along with our Grade One buddy class, celebrated Dr. Seuss'  birthday. The students were asked to bring in any Dr. Seuss books that they had at home to read to our little buddies. They also worked together to complete a directed drawing of everyone's favourite character, The Cat in the Hat!

In Language Arts this week, we continued to work on our fairy tale writing project. The students had the opportunity to choose their favourite fairy tale. They discussed the story with their friend and then rewrote it in their booklets. The students were reminded to write about all of the characters, including the hero and the villian, a detailed setting, problem and solution. When these were complete, they had the opportunity to share their fairy tale with the class.

We also talked about how fairy tales teach lessons. We read Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and then talked about the lessons that were learned. The students then wrote about the lessons from their favourite fairy tale. A lot of the them wrote about kindness and being grateful for what we have.

In Math, the students wrote a final assessment on three digit addition and subtraction. Throughout the next couple of weeks, we will be working on mental math strategies.

We finished reading about Tunisia by focusing on the environment and the goods and services. The students have been partnered up to work on a class slideshow about Tunisia. Each pair has been assigned a topic and is responsible for creating a Google slide which will include pictures and a few sentences. The topics include, food, clothing, transportation, school, festivals, goods, services, environment and sports. To finish our culture study, we will also be celebrating Tunisia Day in the afternoon, on March 10th.

In Phys. Ed., we worked on some kicking skills and played indoor soccer.

Congrats to our super readers this week!!
