February 28-March 4
Hello families, This week in math we learned about the "counting-on" math strategy. We did some practice activities using this strategy. Students also created their own March calendars - we have a busy March and this can help students remember all of the important days! We also learned a new math game called "Four's a Winner." During our Daily 5 literacy time, we learned how to properly use the Pink Boxes and Blue Boxes. Students really enjoyed using them to learn new words. We also focused on the "-ot" word family and learned a new poem called "Dot the Tot" which students brought home. We are excited to be able to bring placemats back into the classroom! This week we learned a bit about healthy eating, food groups and the Canadian Food Guide. Students designed their own healthy plates for the placemats. These will be laminated and used at snack and lunch time for the rest of the year. We had to revisit the idea of a Responsible Work Choices
