Hello Parents,
The first week back was a bit of a busy one, but we had a lot of fun. I'd like to welcome our new classmate, Luca. It's nice to have an equal number of boys and girls now. All of the students have welcomed Luca, making sure to help him learn the rules and even with some school work. It's very nice to see.
This week in writing and in phonics, we were learning the letter Vv. For writing, my direction was to start at the top, go to the bottom and back to the top for the upper case V. For lower case v the direction was to start in the middle, go to the bottom and back to the middle. For phonics, the words they were learning were violin, violet, volcano, vest, vegetables, vine and van.
For math, they were learning about equal parts and not equal parts. This used their knowledge from the previous lesson of symmetry.
Science we learned how to take care of the earth by recycling, cleaning up outside and saving energy.
Social studies they learned about how goods move through the world. I told them there are no banana trees in Canada, but we still eat them. So how do bananas get from Taiwan to Canada, and now they know they came by boat.
In story time we read a new story, Monster Musical Chairs.
For homework this week they are doing page 19 - the letter Vv. They must circle the Vv in the alphabet, then write Vv on the line and finally circle all the Vv's in the square. Also page 31 - writing the word like, then they must circle the picture that matches what they really do like.
Finally, I want to wish both Allie and Sean a happy birthday. They both celebrated their birthday on February 6th. Thank you to both families for providing a cake and treats for the kids.
Ali
