We had a wonderful first full week of school together!
The learning goals that we accomplished this week were drawing self portraits and printing our names, creating our golden names, created anchors for colours and the months of the year, shared a variety of songs and stories together and began to learn how to use the classroom word wall. For the next few weeks we will be focusing on our names. JK friends will work on recognizing and printing their names while SK students continue to practice correct letter formation and recognizing or printing their last name too!
Friday we celebrated Dot Day! International Dot Day is based on the picture book "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds. The main message of the story is to believe in yourself, harness your creativity and make a difference!
We participated in many of our own Dot activities throughout the day. We read the story “The Dot” and learned “The Dot Song”, we created a mural of dots as a class, made our own dot pictures and counted dots on dice and matched it to the number. It was a wonderful celebration!
A reminder that there is no school tomorrow as it is a PA day! We look forward to seeing all our friends on Tuesday!
