Marvelous Monday

What a great day we had today!  We started our day with Zahra sharing Bowser Jr. travel journal with us.  The learners are really fond of our new class pet.   We love hearing about all of his adventures and taking him for "sleep overs".  Our class pet has also been very helpful to us when someone is feeling tired or blue.  The students are really good at sharing, and have been kindly offering it to classmates who need an extra cuddle during the day.

Tonight Bowser Jr. is going home with Alex.  

This morning all of the students participated in Guided Reading & Literacy Centers.  Please ask your child what literacy centers they participated in today.  

The weather is so much warmer out this week, which is wonderful.  We all really enjoyed recess break this morning and playing in the snow with our classmates.  

This afternoon we had calendar time.  The learners are really demonstrating their understanding of patterns by predicting what color comes next on our calendar.  We have been talking about the patterns of the teen numbers and guessing what numbers come next. We have also been doing a lot of counting.  Today we counted forward to 13, and the we counted backward from 13 to 0. In our math journals, the learners represented the number 13 in different ways.  

Math Homework:  Please ask your child to count forward to 20.  Please also have your child count backward from 20 to 0.  

The learners enjoyed gym and music class today.  

A big thank you to Rita (Ajay's mom) for being our Scholastic Volunteer :)  Book orders will be coming home with your child tomorrow night.  

Have a great night!  

Warm Regards,

Mrs. Lai
