Welcome to the last week of February!

Opening ex. in the Gym / Collection of House Points

Gunner was our leader today for Calendar and the reading of “Chicken Soup with Rice!” Today is day 107!! We also had Weekend News first thing.

Once the Pre-K’s left the room we played our “New Words” game (word ring words being added this week) and the students beat me 19-16J.We also worked with the word “good”.

For Math, the children used 2 paper plates, some cubes, white boards and markers to make our own addition stories. The numbers they wrote on their white boards had to correspond with the number of cubes on each plate. Some of the students got very adventurous as they placed 15-20 cubes on each plate and then had to count them all to make an addition story that told the truth! As an additional challenge, some of the SK’s had 3 and then 4 plates, each with cubes on them to be added together! (ie: 5+6+4+9=24) It was exciting to watch the “learning” happening!

In the afternoon we learned about emperor penguins in particular.

In the gym we practised skip rope skills and played Penguins and Killer Whales! Because we didn’t have to take any time to dress for outdoors, we had extra time for running and exercising our bodies!

Ms. Armitage read the story called Tacky and the Winter Games followed by free choice activity time, clean up and dismissal. A great day!
