Colours, Colours Everywhere!

Hi Mom and Dad!

We spent this week exploring Primary and Secondary colours.  Ask me which colours are which!!
Mixing colours was a favourite part of the week.  We got to paint our hands with primary colours and mix them with a friend!   We read the books Little Blue and Little Yellows, Harold and the Purple crayon and the Day the Crayons Quit!

Our blends of the week we learned were CH and TH!  Knowing these blends help us when spelling!  Did you know that TH can make 2 different sounds? Ask me what they are.

We finished our first round of literacy centres!! Working with groups and focusing on letter sounds and recognition have helped us in our reading and writing.  Our next round of centres will start this week!  We will be focusing on word work and guided reading.  

Math Night was a great success.  Thank you to all that came out to play and learn new math games.  All the games that were shown can easily be played at home!!  We showcased our Show Me and Number bingo games.  Ask me to explain them to you, they are part of our current math centres!

Friday was a fun day!!  We learned out to use stop motion animation with the ipads.  Using some plastecine, we focused on using small movements and taking pictures to make a small story.  We will start using this technology to tell stories in our literacy centres.  We had a lot of fun!!! 

Reminders

Library day is on Mondays - please remember to bring your library book back to school to take out a new one!

Thank you to all that have been bringing in their home reading regularly!  We love reading with the kids everyday and seeing how much they have progressed!
