Day 14

HAPPY MONDAY,

Take a look at our day:

Calendar: Today the calendar routine was led by Isabella. 
Phonics: Today the students were introduced to  the "Pp" sound, action and song.  Together we brainstormed a list of "Pp" words. We also created the letter "Pp" with our play dough.

Art:  Please see Ms. Kerr's blog for more information. 
Math: Today we continued to practice our numbers from 1-20. We went over the correct way to print the numbers and we completed some activities counting and matching the correct number to the number of objects (1:1 correspondence). On Monday, October 5th, we will have our first Math test on Number Sense and Numeration. This week we will continue to practice the concepts and a math review package will be sent home on Friday for you to practice over the weekend.
Lunch/ Recess 1 
French: Please see Mlle. Jessica's blog for more information. 
Unit of Inquiry:Today the students reviewed our 5 senses. Students together listed the 5 senses and we matched the sense to the correct word on the board. This week our focus is on hearing. Together we read the story "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you Hear?" and wrote a list about things we can hear. Together we talked about the components of a list. A list needs a title and we use bullet points to show each part of the list. A list is written underneath each other not beside each other. 
Take a look a what we came up with:

Daily 5:  Today we went over what is expected of the students during Daily 5 rotation. We needed a recap on the rules and responsibilities of the program. We will start a fresh rotation tomorrow. 

Thank you so much 

Have a great night. See you tomorrow!
