Hello everyone!
We started our day with some reading time and then read our morning message. We completed another math assessment. This one was about comparing numbers. We had to look at two numbers and cross out the number that is bigger. We had to finish as many as we could in 30 seconds! That's not much time. We had fun trying to finish them all though.
Next, we filled in our calendar and then we interviewed today's star student - Ayun! We learned that Ayun has 1 sister, she likes the colour pink, and her favourite ice cream is bubblegum flavour. We each chose 2 sentences to write about Ayun and drew a picture of her for our star student book.
After snack and recess we had another round of literacy centers. We have started guided reading in our reading groups with Ms. Byrne. We are so excited to be reading books! Once we have read a book in our group, we get to put the book into our "Just Right" book bag in our desk. Then, we can practice reading the book on our own during our quiet reading time.
Thank you to everyone for practicing our Wow Words at home this week! We've shared lots of ways that we have been practicing at home, and our practice has been really showing when we are doing guided reading and finding our Wow Words in our books!
After lunch, we had mindfulness time and then some Mathletics time. We all worked on a subtraction task - subtracting from 5 on a number line. Once we finished that job, we got to use Live Mathletics to race other kids in addition and subtraction facts.
We have been talking about community in social studies. We read another book about the important places and people in a community. We took a closer look at a map of Beddington Heights. We started at our school and went for a little virtual walk around the community. We focused a lot on the Beddington Towne Square and noticed lots of different community essentials there (ex: grocery stores, doctor and dentists offices, gas stations, banks, bus stops). We made a list of all the places we noticed. Next week, we will be using this list to help us create a community map that has everything people in a community need.
