Day 17

Good afternoon,

Take a look at our day in SK!

Calendar: Today the calendar routine was led by Anaya.
Phonics: Today the students continued to work on Jolly Phonics. We review the sound, action and song for the letter "Nn"! The students also completed a worksheet practicing the correct way to print the letter "Nn" and they identified words with the "Nn" sound.

Journal: For journal today, students wrote three words that begin with the letter "Nn". Everyone did a terrific job coming up with the three words.

Reading Strategies- Today we focused on the long "e" sound. The "Ee" at the end of the word makes the vowel say its name. Students worked on works like: cape, cake, whale etc. This is a difficult concept to understand. We will continue to practice.

Lunch/ Recess 1
French: Please see Mlle. Hou's blog for more information.
Unit of Inquiry:Today the students reviewed the 5 senses. We continued to talk about hearing. Students listened to a book about hearing and the parts of the ear. We then cut and paste to label the parts of the ear.

Lunch/ Recess 2

Math: Today the students reviewed ordinal numbers and counting from 1-20. We are getting ready for our math test on Monday. Please see the practice sheets in your child's agenda tomorrow.

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.
