Our first week back has been a busy one! We started this week off settling into our routines and quickly picked up where we left off. This week we began looking at Popcorn words. Popcorn words are the words that 'pop' up everywhere and everyday. This week we looked at I, see, is, my and a. We had a blast coming up with sentences and reading them everyday. Below a couple of students used the popcorn word examples to copy using magnets and whiteboard markers. This is great reading, printing and letter recognition activity.
We also read the Jan Brett book "The Mitten". We sang a poem about a lost mitten, we retold the story using animal pictures and we also decorated and cut out our very own mitten. The art activity was great for our fine motor development - colouring inside the lines and cutting out our mitten. Next week we will start to look at why the animals liked the mitten and what do they do during the winter (hibernate? migrate?). We will also compare the Jan Brett book to another mitten book - how are they different? How are they the same?
That's all for now - we hope you have enjoyed our blog so far :) Keep an eye out on Monday for a note that is going home about Book Bags! Have a safe and restful weekend!
