Mrs. Thibert will be away for this week and next. Today, Mrs. Roe, our Monday librarian, was kind enough to offer our class a book exchange time. All students were able to take home a book (we didn’t have a list of outstanding books available). We MIGHT be able to have another quick book exchange next Monday, so please send your books back a day early next week!
Here is a taste of our day today. See what concepts your child remembers, and/or what he/she remembers about them! (Personal space, Advent Wreaths, Christmas Concert Song, -ad Words)
Gym: Today, we worked on moving safely in our own personal space during our gym activities. We were race cars on a racetrack who had to follow the rules of the track. Our imaginations then took us to a car dealership where we test drove several types of cars, then choose one that we liked the best to drive (safely) off the lot!
Religion: The first week of advent has arrived! We set up our prayer ‘shelf’ with a purple advent cloth, and our classroom advent wreath. We also practised our song “Take a Walk to Christmas” for the Christmas concert. We added dance movements/actions to the first verse.
Language: We are continuing to work on “Star Sentences.” We know that every sentence: starts with a capital letter, is a complete idea, has a finger space between words, and ends with a punctuation mark. We also worked on spelling words with -ad in them today; “add,” “bad,” “glad,” “sad,” “mad,” “advent.” (Plus a few more.)
