Feb 20 -23 Blog ~~~~ 100th Day and the Olympics!

Griffin celebrated his 6th birthday.
Happy Birthday Griffin!

Nevaeh is writing the morning message.

Our 100th Day of School!

Counting 10 items of each snack using the 10 frames.

The children realized they could even make
AB patterns with their snack before eating it.

What the students think they will
look like when they turn 100 years old.


100 Exercises - 10 reps of each exercise! 
 Lots of fun going on here.



Mr. Doran was in to read a story
about kindness to the students.


Some learning centre pictures.

We had an assembly and the classes
walked in representing the country there
class was keeping tabs on during the Olympics.
Here we are representing United States and France.
 China is coming in behind us.

Bransen and Clariabella were
students of the month!

Bransen was our star of the week
and Caleb was Mrs. McCarthy’s.  
I had both classes all day on Friday
and a part of our day includes reading
your guided reader to the class.
Caleb and Bransen were the helpers
holding the microphone for the other
student.  Here Caleb is holding
the microphone while Bransen reads his book.

When Caleb grows up he is
going to be a race car driver!

When Bransen grows up he is
going to drive an ambulance!

Part of the Star of the Week’s job
in KA is to be the teacher for a
couple of activities.  Students are asked
what they would like to be called,
by their first name, teacher or Mr. or Ms.
Here is Mr.Cannon, and he is leading
Simon Says. The children have discovered
that being a teacher can be hard work!

Ending fabulous Friday with the Freeze Dance!

Creating flags continue to be a big interest
at learning centre time.  France (KB)
and United States flags (KA).

Some pictures of the Olympics!

We are keeping a visual count of medals
won in the United States! We also put a
picture on our door when a medal is won
and what sport it was won in.

Working with ten frames!

When Emma grows up she plans to be a Nurse!

When Cohen grows up he plans on being a Firefighter!

Emma surprised the class with a candy-o-gram for everyone!

February 5 - 9 ~~~ Finishing Up The Mitten & Getting into Valentine's and The Olympics

Our Art wall is looking great with some
decorated mittens after learning with
the book The Mitten by Jan Brett

The children had a great time decorating
our display table for Valentine’s!

Finishing up last week’s work jobs!

Complete the heart by finding the
matching initial sound picture,
cutting it out and gluing it on.

I Love You To Pieces!l
Lots of fine motor happening
here as the children tear of
pieces of different color paper
to glue onto their heart shape!

Print the uppercase letters that
are missing.  Use a letter line if
You wish!

Find and color the hidden words
by color code.  Read the sentence
when finished.  I see three red hearts.

As the children are star of the week,
one question they have answered is
what they want to be when they grow up.

Emily plans to be a Doctor!

Seth is going to be a Police Officer!

Kaden is going to be  a Truck Driver!

The writing centre, some of the amazing
writing that is occurring!

Emily decorated a beautiful heart.
Nevaeh was so proud of herself
For sounding out the word heart!.


Emma was the first one to bring
in the February family project -
Her Valentine Mailbox!  This was
A KA assignment.  It looks
Awesome!

The whole school is going to get
involved in the Olympics.
We watched a little of the opening
Ceremonies.  The children were thrilled
With the lighting of the torch!
KA will be keeping a close eye on
The United States. We got into
The spirit by creating the United States
Flag for our door. KB will be keeping
A close eye on France.



During learning centre time Griffin and
Bransen asked if they could make their own
United States Flag.  Griffin will finish
his next week. And people wonder why
we go through a lot of glue sticks
and scotch tape! :)  

Some learning centre pictures!

Seth was our Star of the Week last
week and I missed getting his
picture taken by the display!
