On Monday, we wore orange shirts to remember the children that went to residential schools. We talked as a class about how we should feel at school. Some of the answers were: happy, kindness, excited, proud, friendship, acceptance, and respected. We each wrote our favourite one on our decorated orange shirts.
In religion, we talked about how we are all unique children of God. We had a discussion about how our names have meaning. We could be named after relatives.We each drew what makes us happy that God created. Some of the answers were: rainbows, my family, my friends, food ect.
In health class, we are learning about the benefits of physical activity. We did some movements and discussed how we felt after.
In LA, we are still working on a letter every day! We read a story based on the letter, listen to a song about the letter, go over the action that helps us remember the letter sound(s), practice writing the letter, and constructing the letter out of play dough!
In science we are still learning all about fall. Every morning we put a tally on our fall weather chart under what the weather will be like today. So far we have two tally marks under sunny! We hope the sunny weather continues. We talked about our favorite fall activities to do and wrote down our favorite ones. This week we will talk more about Thanksgiving.
In art we made a fall tree on our bulletin board! We each decorated a leaf with patterns in each section. We love doing art based on what we are learning about in science and math!
In math we went on a pattern walk around the school. We wanted to know what patterns we see in our daily lives. We listed them all on the board. We each tried to remember one that was our favorite! We noticed there were patterns on the roof, floor, bulletin board displays, in the library, and lots of other places! Patterns are all around us.
