November 6- November 10

This week we had two special guests in our room. The division's tech coach Tarynne Angel came in to help the students learn how to work with their Chromebooks. They have picked it up quite fast! We also had Miss. Rachel come in again today to teach the students more about the Mind-Up curriculum. The students learned two different breathing activities to do when they are upset. We also looked again at the glitter jars settling and compared it to being mad/frustrated. We ended the session with a really fun Jelly Belly activity. I am really happy with how well the students are responding to the program so far. The kids were very respectful today during our Remembrance day ceremony. We still have had to have lots of conversations this week about being kind to one another and being 'hands off.'

Language

We worked on Raz-Kids listening to reading this week. We will be wrapping up out short A study on Monday and then be moving on the E. The children also got to explore the short -a activities on Starfall. We did readers that had us look at the short A sound, we did a matching activity looking at the -an, -at and -ap word families. We also got to work with and manipulate letter tiles in two different making words activities that worked with the short -a vowel.

Math

We wrapped up out number representation unit this week, finishing the unit with an assignment the student completed on Google Slides. We will be introducing addition to 10 next week!

Science

The students have officially completed their Creating Color unit this week. I had to have almost all of the students rewrite the exam today for not following the substitute teacher's directions. I am so excited to start our Senses unit with a Christmas swing on it. 

Social 

We have finished the "Belonging in my World" unit the students just need to complete a Rights and Responsibilities assignment on Monday then we will be moving on to "Taking Part in my Community"
