Library Days:

Learners will have the opportunity to exchange their library books on Mondays and Wednesdays. 

Indoor Shoes: 

We are noticing that some of our learners have shoes with laces and are unable to tie them. This is slowing down our transitions, if possible please send shoes they are able to do up independently. 


Our Learning: 

Literacy:

- We went book shopping in our classroom library and learned how to pick a "just right" book. 

- In our journals, we used the sentence starter "I wish..." and wrote about something that we wished for.  

- We started routines for Daily 5 and learned the expectations for read to self  

- Next week, we will continue to practice routines for Daily 5 

Math:

- In Math, we have continued exploring patterns and created a visual journal page about patterns
- We learned how to create more complex patterns and "name our patterns" by identifying if it is an ABAB, ABCABC, etc. pattern
- Next week, we will continue to explore patterns and will look at patterns in our environment


Inquiry:

- We have started discussions about identity and began creating an identify map

- We also talked about how families look differently for everyone, and drew a picture of our families in our visual journals 

- Next week, we will finish our identity maps, we can't wait for you to see them on Thursday!  


Thank you for reading and please enjoy a couple pictures from this week!
