The past two weeks have been busy in our classroom! We finished our unit on Life Cycles and made a bulletin board based on Eric Carle's wonderful book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We are also tracking the weather each day and will summarize our findings at the end of the month (graphing and patterning). The children created some wonderful art with the help of a visit from an artist - thank you to Parent Council for funding this wonderful experience for the children. The children also completed the sentences "I like/don't like rain because...", completed the Phonics sounds W and NG, and the SKs made a booklet called "I know it's Spring when..." The children also made booklets called "What Do Plants Need?" and "Who is in the Barn?" They can read these booklets and would love to read them to you! They also made spider booklets and love to read those too! Both classes welcomed their Reading Buddies, Grade 8 Reading Buddies, and enjoyed going to the Book Fair. The children also practiced role-playing with puppets on what to do if they are bullied. We also completed our May calendars (reviewing how to correctly write 1-31) and started our new unit on Canadian Coins and their values. Thank you so much to our recent parent volunteers: white bags and snuggle books were done by Declan's mom and Cameron D's mom, Reading Club was done by Emma and Jonas' mom and Tatum's mom. Our Mystery Readers were Charlie's mom and Jamie who is in Grade 1 now (great job Jamie!). Please remember to bring in the Pizza Lunch form and money by May 31st. Summer Scholastic Orders are also due on May 31st. Please remember that the children should be wearing closed-toe shoes. Have a wonderful week!
