Hello families and friends,
We have been continuing to work on our partner stories, and will soon be putting them together into books using the iPads. Yesterday we also played a round of sight word bingo using all of the words off of our word wall. In math, we started some work with the base-10 blocks. Some numbers were put on the board and the students had to make the number using as few blocks as possible. Then today we introduced two new pieces for our daily math work: problem of the week, and numbers of the day. Each week there will be a new problem posted on the board, and each day there will be two new different numbers posted on the board. These are for the students to work on if they finish their mental math warmup before the time is up, or if they have finished the day's work early. We have also been beginning working on some research skills, doing a group research project on Lola.
Following with our experiment with insulators last week, we will be having a little competition. The students planned and designed what they think will be the best insulator. While we are waiting for our next snow so that we can have some fresh material to work with, we will be working on building our insulators. We will be looking for some extra material to work with; if you are able to spare any extra cardboard, cloth, yarn, etc. for our use that would be much appreciated.
While the weather has been warming up, the lost and found will soon start to fill up as well. To help with locating the winter gear that will inevitably be lost, a reminder to label the clothing with your child's name or initials.
This Friday, the kindergarten classes will be hosting our Chinese New Year assembly. This morning, we watched a video and read a book that gave some information about the holiday and the celebrations. For the assembly on Friday, all students are encouraged to wear red.
Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
