Day 2:

Good evening,

House Game: We gathered in our houses to play a house game hosted by Zeta! Look at how much fun it was!

Calendar: Today’s calendar was led by Veda. Great job Veda!

Read Aloud: Today, students listened to the book, “Ready, Set, School!” We were able to discuss how new experiences are scary but can always be fun! Like the first few days of school :)

Phonics: Today, we played the Name Game to get to know each other more. Each day we will be focusing of 5 students' name to say, cheer, clap, fix and spell. The students had so much fun playing this game and we will continue with 5 more students tomorrow.  

French: Please see Mlle. Jessica’s blog for more information.

Journal: Today, students were given the prompt "My name is..." and were asked to copy and finish the sentence. They were then asked to draw a picture of themselves in the blank space provided at the top of the page.

 Lunch/ Recess 1

Math: Today, the students practiced counting and writing numbers to ten. We counted all of the boys, all of the girls, and all of our friends all together. We then went to our desks to work collaboratively with our group mates where we practiced writing and spelling our numbers.

Unit of Inquiry: Today, students listened to a story called, "Down on the Farm." The students listened and learned the different animals you’d see on a farm. Students then discussed their favourite meat and completed a Meat Matching worksheet.

Lunch/ Recess 2

Gym: Please see Mr. McDonald’s blog for more information.

Essential Agreement and Classroom Rules Discussed:  Students listened while I read, "No, David!" We then discussed some classroom rules and created our Essential Agreement for our classroom.

Pack Up  



Have a wonderful evening!!
