Terry Fox, Letter F and B !!!

Hi parents!!

Things were really busy in room 52/53 this week! 

We began with our letters of the week.  Letters F and B, trying to listen and isolate the sounds within words to help us learn how to spell.   In our word work journals, we practiced our letter formation and drew pictures of many things that began with each letter sound.

During our quiet reading time after lunch we continue to build our stamina and are really working hard and ‘TRYING’ to read the words and the pictures.

In our journals we brought home a sheet of ‘POP CORN’ words.  These are words we are beginning to practice at school and at home.  We call them POP CORN because after some time they should just POP in to our heads!!  This will help us with reading and with writing.  Please help me practice at home!

In math we continue to work on different ways to represent number.  We added dice to our repertoire!  We are understanding how place value works and working on skip counting as well.

We also learned how to graph items and see which one was most liked!  We all pick a question about “What is your favourite……” and were able to go around the room asking our friends.  Each time they answered, we put a check mark.   Everyone did a great job asking and answering questions and we were all excited to see our results!!!

Orange shirt day is on Monday October 1^st.  We spent some time exploring why we honour this day and read some stories that helped us understand how we belong at school, home and other areas in our community.  On Monday we encourage students to wear orange to school.

Our Terry fox was a great success!!  We discussed how Terry was a hero and talked about the hero’s’ in our lives.
