Looking back

Language Arts

• Focused on the ‘floss’ rule (when flsz comes at the end of a word after a short vowel you double the letter) and the -oll/-ull/-all sounds.

• Talked about the sight words, your, want, no, go, so 

• Learned about how to read back our sentences to make sure they have everything they need

• Talked about pronouns and how to use them to connect 2 sentences

Math

• Talked about increasing and decreasing patterns

• Learned about patterns on a hundreds chart

Science

• Continued our talk about materials and how indigenous people use natural materials to make tipis. We created our own tipis in our visual journals and labelled each material.

• 

• 
  

• Talked about a sharing circle and how indigenous people use a sharing stick to take turns. We created a class sharing stick using natural and produced materials to use for future sharing circles

• Sorted pictures cut out of magazines into natural and processed materials

Other fun things!

• Monday was international Dot Day! We read “The Dot” by Peter Reynolds and made our own dot bookmarks with bingo daubers and colouring materials

• We decorated a page to put on the cover of our visual journals with the things we brought from home as well as other class materials

Looking ahead

Library day is Tuesday! Please bring all library books back to school.

This week we will be starting our high frequency words spelling! I will post the new words for the week on the blog on Fridays and your child will bring home the same words on a list on Monday. Please practice these words with your child as there will be a spelling test on the Friday. Thanks for your support! Next week’s words will be the, of, and, a, to, in, is, you, that, it.
