Hello everyone!
We started our day with our Wow Word Review. Some of us found the word "little" challenging. We talked about the "le" ending throughout last week, but it is a tricky thing to remember! We may need to practice it some more.
We got our new Wow Words:
1. cat
2. fun
3. got
4. ask
5. said
We decided to focus on the "ot" family for our bonus words:
1. hot
2. pot
3. dot
4. shot
5. robot
Mr. Wiens came to teach us music and then we added our new words to our word rings. We filled in our calendar before snack and recess.
After snack, we had literacy centres. Ms. Byrne has been reading with each of us one-on-one during literacy centres to make lots of notes about our reading and decide what our next steps are. We can't believe how much our reading has grown! Many of us are working on using all the sounds and language rules we've learned to help us sound out words that we don't recognize right away. Some of us are also working on re-reading sentences to help make sure we understand what is happening in the story, and that the words we've said make sense in that sentence.
After lunch we had mindfulness time and practiced our new Wow Words in our dice game. We also watched a quick video that helped us practice the word "said." We have been learning to draw hearts around the part of our red words that doesn't follow the rules. This lets us know that we need to learn that part of the word "by heart." In said, the /s/ and /d/ are making their usual sounds, it's just the /ai/ that is breaking rules.
Next, we moved on to math where we reviewed our subtraction with pictures strategy. We talked about how pictures can be a good strategy when you're just learning about subtraction and what it means. It is a good strategy to use when you have low numbers, but the higher your numbers, the more difficult that strategy can be. It takes too long to draw lots of pictures, and it's easy to make a mistake! So, we moved on to subtraction using blocks. We practiced with a couple of equations today to think about what it means to subtract or take away.
After our second recess, we read "Mouse Paint" to help us talk about all the primary colour combinations. We looked at a picture of the colour wheel and talked about what we noticed. We noticed that it has all the colours of the rainbow! It also follows an AB pattern rule: primary colour, secondary colour. And, each secondary colour is sandwiched between the 2 primary colours you mix to make it!
We took some time at the end of the day to clean out our desks and make sure we all have the supplies we need in the right places. Then, we headed to the gym to do some basketball passes with partners. We played a game of keep away to end our gym time.
