We had a very productive first week back!
We spent a lot of the week reviewing rules and routines and practicing how to play, share and tidy up!
We shared stories about the break and what our favourite presents were. We journaled by drawing pictures and writing words.
The boys and girls have begun asking questions about what animals do during the winter months. This has sparked an inquiry on Hibernation! The children have been asking questions and together we research the answers to these questions using books, videos and websites!
Many of our literacy and math centres have been hibernation themed!
We have been busy turning the dramatic centre into a forest too. We are asking if students could bring in any forest stuffies (example: teddy bears, raccoons, birds, snakes, turtles, squirrels, mice etc) that they may have at home (and don’t mind keeping at school for a few weeks). We will label them with masking tape and keep them in the dramatic centre for imaginary play to support this inquiry!
Bingo has been a favourite centre this week as has directed drawing!
We have been learning about adding by using manipulatives to make addition sentences. Praticing at home with small toys like LEGO would be beneficial too! We have also been practicing to print numbers. We used q-tips and paint to support our fine motor skills too!
We are going to get back into PAT again next week. The letter is Hh. The sight word is “have.”
SK students will begin a home reading program on Tuesday. More details to follow!
Have a super Sunday!
