Dear families,
I hope you had a lovely weekend. Last week we continued our inquiry about Measurement. Thank you Catherine, Phoebe, Rielle and Ruby for bringing in your own measuring tape! We talked about the difference between measuring tape and tape measures, and learned and practiced how to use them. IKEA has free paper measuring tape if you find yourself shopping there! Your child can measure while you shop! 😊 We watched a "How it's Made" episode about how measuring tape is made, and watched a video called "Inch by Inch."
We are also learning about thermometers and will be making a paper one in class. The children coloured in two thermometers, one for winter and one for summer. We will finish our unit on Measuring next week.
Please bring in a small plastic coat hanger with two little hooks on it so your child can make a balance. Thank you.
In Art and Writing, the children wrote what they would do if they lived in a snow globe and are making a snow globe with paper and plastic plates. Thank you Miss. Santiago!
The children had an amazing experience in the library last week inside the ROM's portable Planetarium!
The words of the week were COME and LOOK. The letter sound was Rr.
Thank you to Hannah's mom for being the Mystery Reader!
I sent home a list of high frequency sight words and a letter about "kid" writing.
Assuming the snow will return, this week we'll make snowflakes from marshmallows and pretzels and will measure a penguin with goldfish crackers (then eat them!). We read Deep Snow by Robert Munsch, will make paper snowflakes, and learned two winter poems.
In music, the children are doing Forest of Reading, Bingo, and a Lion Hunt theme. In computers the children are doing Book Flix stories about snow and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
I hope you have a terrific week!
