November 20 - 24 ~~~~~ Naional Child Day,Mrs. Wishy-Washy, and our 50th Day of School

We celebrated National Child Day on Monday, November 29th.  We made crowns and had a march throughout the school, stopping in on a few classes to spread the word.



This week was all about one of my favorite characters Mrs. Wishy- Washy!  We created our own version of Mrs. Wishy- Washy.  They sure are cute!



Draw a word out of the container.  Find it on your Mrs. Wishy - Washy sheet and use a bingo dauber to mark the word.

Help Mrs. Wishy- Washy get to her tub be careful not to go across any lines on the maze.  Then follow the path to get the animals to the tub.

We acted out the story of Mrs. Wishy -Washy.  We had to do the story three times to ensure everyone had a turn.  Lots of interesting voices and laughter during this activity!



I introduced the card game 7-Up.  We had lots of fun playing.  This is a fun way to learn numbers and number order.

Sequence the story of Mrs. Wishy -Washy and then tell the story using the pictures to your work group.

Concept of spoken word each time you say a word in the sentence push up a chip on the overhead projector.  This is a difficult concept for some children to grasp, as they will push up a chip for each syllable. Ex hockey  they may say hoc … push up a chip key and push up another chip.  

Part Part whole with the number 10.  I had 10 chips white one side and black on the other.  We found lots of different combinations for 10.

Friday was Jersey Day.  Here is a fine looking bunch of people wearing Jersey’s. The names of each student wearing a jersey in each class went into a draw.  Grace’s name was drawn in our class and Clairabella’s  name was drawn in Mrs. McCarthy’s class. They each received a box of smarties.

Friday was our 50th Day of School.  We asked Mrs. McCarthy if we could bring some 50th Day activities to her class and celebrate.  The students had a great time. They each decorated 50th Day Certificates, were given 50th Day Medals, and had a color, count and print the number of different items on the number 50.


We continued celebrating after lunch with a 50th Board Game.  Lots of fun!  Thank you Mrs. McCarthy for letting us come down and celebrate.

I enlarged our Choice board with an additional 5 choices for learning centre time.  7- Up, the light table, Ants in Pants, and a small hockey game on the top of the sand box.  Lots of excitement!
