Awesome Monday!

Today we began the day with pour morning assembly in the gym where students from gr. 6 played a skit about what does it mean to be an inquirer. JKs headed to the class, we had our morning circle time and healthy snacks.
In Language we will be learning name, sound and formation of U. We sang our phonics song and then had our daily five. Today we had 4 different activities for the daily five, it was actually daily 4: forming letter U using play dough mats, read 'level readers' to self, bingo dauber letter u identification and read to someone using a variety of familiar books.

In Math we had a lot of fun sorting balls today. The purpose of this activity is to get the students thinking and talking about attributes. To do this, we had a collection of a big basket of balls - big balls, little balls, glittery balls, bouncy balls, squishy balls...

Students helped me to sort the balls and then put them into the correct category. After sorting the balls, they played for a couple of minutes. We had balls everywhere in the class, a big party!

 

In our UOI we played the song "Head, shoulders, knees and toes!" and then talked about how we can use our bodies to play. Students listed different games/sports we can play with our bodies and made a body puzzle using a picture of a boy or a girl, crayons to colour and scissors.

 

Have a great evening everyone!
