Hello everyone and welcome to Spring!
What a beautiful
day to start this hopeful season. This morning I was smiling the whole way to
work while the glorious sun warmed me up! I cannot think of a better way to
start back after a week away!
I sincerely hope
that everyone had a great week. I really enjoyed spending the days with my
children. I feel so blessed to have this time to spend with them. It was a nice
way to relax and rejuvenate as we enter into the last few months of
school........can you believe that?!?!
The students were
so excited to tell me about all of the adventures that they had over the break.
We spent most of our time today talking about the fun things we did. We
practiced listening to each other (and not just hearing each other) as well as
asking relevant questions to find out more information. We have been learning
about how asking a question is a way to really show that you are listening and
you are interested in what another person is saying.
Our new word wall
words this week are:
blue, three
zoo, nine, saw
for, get, could,
time, these
discover, don't,
favourite, everybody, recycle
The words will go
home in their homework books today. With all of our fun talk about the March
Break, we did not get a chance to do our WWW activity today! The students will
practice these words tomorrow in class.
As mentioned in
the last blog post, we are going to start Procedural Writing this week. We will
begin by writing texts as a large group. Ask your child if they remember
writing any "how to" texts!
A reminder that we
are learning the words nibbled, lay and through in our study of the story, The
Very Hungry Caterpillar. We will also practice sequencing the events of the
story.
We will be reading
a poem titled, The Rainbow. We will use this poem as a base for practicing
rhyming, letters and sounds, sentence structure, adjectives, synonyms and many
other areas of language. This poem will be used for a few weeks to reinforce
these areas of learning.
So those are some
of the things that will be keeping us busy this week!
A reminder that Thursday is Mile of Coins Day! The students and
staff of SJA are trying to line the halls with coins! How many do you think we
need? All of the loose change brought in will be added to our OK Clean Water
project.
Also, we are
always looking for canned goods to add out donation to Morrison Gardens and our
local food bank. Thank you for your generosity during this time!
Wishing everyone a
wonderful week with sun filled days like this one!
As always, do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

P.S. Ask your child about
the special visitor we had in our class over the March Break!!!!
