Day 8

Good afternoon,

Take a look at our day in SK!

Calendar: Today the calendar routine was led by Gabby.
Phonics: Today the students continued to work on Jolly Phonics. We reviewed the "Ss" and "Aa" sound, action and song and today was our first day of Show and Share! Unfortunately only one students remembered, I am hoping as we progress through the weeks we have all 4 students bringing in something. Thank you to Hunter for bringing in his "Seashells" for the letter "Ss" today! Great job Hunter!!

Journal: For journal today, students wrote three words that begin with the letter "Aa". Everyone did a terrific job coming up with the three words.
Math: Today we did some counting and focused on 1:1 correspondence. The students were given counters in the centre of their table and when I called out the number, they were to put the correct amount of counters in front of them. All students were really excited to use the counters.

Just before lunch, we had the chance to share with the Grade 8's what we know about our senses.

Lunch/ Recess 1
French: Please see Mlle. Hou's blog for more information.
Unit of Inquiry:Today the students reviewed the 5 senses. Together we matched the sense to the correct word on the board. We also reviewed our senses song (to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell). We listened to a story called Bear Goes Over the Mountain. Together we explored the things bear touched, tasted, saw, heard and smelt. Lunch/ Recess 2
Gym:Please see Ms. Lovan's blog for more information.
Pack Up
Daily 5: Today we continued the process of Daily 5. The students are so excited and are really enjoying these centres.

Thank you so much

Have a fantastic weekend! See you Monday.
- Ms. Genco :)

Action

Action is a very significant aspect of the IB learning process. In the PYP Program, students will engage in 6 Unit of Inquiries (UOI) throughout the school year, with each unit being approximately 6 weeks long. During each UOI, 3 students from the class will be assigned as the “Action Stars”, which means that they are encouraged to use what has been learned and apply it to the “real world.” The purpose of this initiative is to help further knowledge about what has been learned within the classroom. Example: If we are learning about recycling, students might go home and tell you that they want to implement a recycling program with you at home, or they may do something simple like telling you that something you were throwing in the garbage may be recycled. Students who are not assigned this role for the current UOI being taught are still encouraged to show ACTION! Action comes in many forms; it might be something small to something very large, but as long as the children understand the concepts, action is important no matter the size! Please check out our Action board in our classroom to see all our fabulous learners.
