Hello Readers ..

We had a great day! Sarah was our leader and had the goose, with 4 printed on it, placed on the calendar before I even got everyone into the room! When I asked her how she knew to use a goose next in the pattern, she said she had looked in my bin and noticed there weren’t any different animal cutouts, so she figured it was an ABC pattern! She was right J Super thinking, Sarah!

In Phonics, we learned the sound of “M,m”. We brainstormed for words that start with ‘m-m-m-m” and then the students had to draw pictures on a plate of things that make them say “m-m-m.” SK students had to label their own food and JK’s could ask for help from me.

Our story today was called “Pig’s Egg”, which created some interesting discussion! It was a funny story!

Following French we looked into our farm animal bin and identified the animals there. We discovered a few things that did not belong on a farm, like a rhino and a dinosaur J

In Math we did some really serious sorting. I dumped collections of things in front of pairs of students and asked them to sort them in some way! The SK’s had buttons and did not require very many clues to start to sort by size or colour or by fancy and plain! The JK’s required a bit more guidance but were soon sorting by colour! Samuel continued by sorting the triangles out of his colour groups. Charlotte continued by sorting out the shapes with fingers vs. those without! Sophia used the coloured rectangles on the carpet to contain the different colours of geometric tiles! Well done everyone! This activity took up most of an hour so we had to miss printing today!

 

This was near the end of the activity when all of the SK's had combined their buttons to sort by a large variety of colours

Keep sorting, girls!

"I'll sort the gold ones; you sort the white ones!"

Have a wonderful evening!
