Morning Routine

Aarna is our new Calendar helper this week!



Journal: Students wrote about what they did on the weekend




Phonics: "ai" sound

Students brainstormed words that have the "ai" sound.
After, students created the two letters using play dough




Math: Subtraction

Today, students were introduced to subtraction. Students know that when we subtract a number that means we are taking away.

Students learned a few strategies to help them subtract. (i.e. using fingers, drawing counters, using blocks or counters).
 

Students worked with a partner and asked each other to solve a math problem. Each student took turns and asked their partner a math question, the other student had to solve the answer using their fingers. 

After, students worked on a worksheet


Gym with Ms. Yustin


Unit of Inquiry: Community Helpers

Today, we continued learning about community helpers. We talked about what mail carriers, fire fighters and a vets do to help people.

Students looked through various books about different community helpers (i.e. nurse, doctor, construction worker, pilot, garbage collector etc.)

Students worked in pairs and were assigned a book about a specific community helper. Students had to act out as if they are the community helper and the rest of the class had to guess what type of community helper they were.


Syra and Surina were pretending to be mail carriers, they handed out "packages" to their peers.


Kai and Devan were fire fighters, they pretended to put out a fire!



Kaysha and Aarna were pretending to be garbage collectors by cleaning up garbage!




French with Mlle. Jessica

Ms. Ayoub
