In Social Studies, we have been focusing on the concept of belonging. All of the students belong to a family. In addition, some of the students belong to hockey teams, some of the students belong to soccer teams, some of the children belong to a mosque, some of the children belong to a church and all the children belong to Kenneth D. Taylor School.
As we have been focusing on the concept of belonging. The students are also learning that individuals have rights and responsibilities when they belong to a group. We have been working on including everyone in our classroom and treating everyone with respect in our learning community. We have also been learning that as active members of our learning community we can contribute to our learning community.
This morning we welcome a new friend to our learning community. Senye arrived in Canada a few months ago. Senye and his family, have just moved into the community of Evanston. The children did a wonderful job introducing themselves to Senye and welcoming Senye to our learning community. I am very proud of the learners for being so welcoming and inclusive. Kenneth D. Taylor students are known for having heart . The students in our learning community were all excellent ambassadors for our school today. Kenneth Taylor would be so very proud of our learners.
In our journals today, the students reflected on their weekends. The students are starting to look more confident during journal time and are starting to see themselves as writers. Most students are writing 2 to 3 sentences now about their weekend which is so very exciting. The students are doing a fantastic job leaving spaces now between their words. We are working on spelling our sight words accurately and stretching out the sounds we hear and doing our best bubble gum writing.
This afternoon, we worked in our math journals. We had fun thinking of all the different ways we could use to represent the number six. The learners are very enthusiastic about exploring numbers.
The students also enjoyed going to gym and music class.
Just a friendly reminder, we go to the library tomorrow. Please make sure your child returns their library book to school tomorrow so they can sign out a new book.
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Lai
