February 28 - March 3

As I work with one group for guided reading the other students are working quietly at a centre. This week I set up playdough, puzzles,Lego and pattern blocks.

We finally finished our Valentine work jobs this week.

I have started using the LCD projector for the morning message.

We took a couple of days to write 100 words!!!

The students asked if we could decorate our class for our 100 Days of school.  So we decided that 10 chains with 10 loops on each of them would be a great idea.  The children worked in groups and as they finished we decided where each chain should hang in our class.  I overheard one little one the class looks beautiful.  So teamwork, fine motor, and class decor all in one little activity.

Our 100th Day T-Shirt Fashion Show.  We had to create a dressing room and the runway.  The grade four class( our book buddies)  came up to be our audience. Ms. Johnston became the photographer.  The students and I had lots of fun, modeling our t-shirts.  Thank you for sending in the t-shirts. Each one was unique and awesome!

Kindergarten, grade 1,2,and 3 had lots of fun going from room to room with a baggie, ten frame and items on a clipboard and collecting 10 of each treat to take home. Lots of excitement, counting and hearing which treat was the favorite.  At the end of the day my class asked if they could do it again tomorrow.

After our fashion show grade 4 and kindergarten were divided into two teams.  With Tanner and Devon being the team leaders.  Each group was given 100 cups and asked to build something with the cups.  There was a couple of tumbles as the creations fell but all in all everyone worked together quite well.

Our 100th Day booklets.  Your children are definitely looking 100 years old. Notice the wrinkles and canes!

At our assembly Brooklynn and Benjamin were recognized for being our students of the month. Congratulations Brooklynn and Benjamin!
