February 4 - 8 ~~~~ The Hat by Jan Brett

Our hallway display area … working on
 guided writing where children are
 expected to write the sight words,
 will guidance leave spaces and write
 down the sounds they hear in unknown 
words and end their writing with
 a punctuation.  

We have been working on an
 active hallway for the students as
 they move from one area to another. 
 Thank you to Amanda McCarville 
for initiating this project.

Blain Buchanan Signs and Trophies 
graciously donated the vinyl for some of 
the designs on the floor. (feet, hands, dots, etc)
 Thank you Blain.

The Hat … help Lisa get her clothing
 back from the animals.  Take turns
 picking a card. Who will get all
 the clothing back for Lisa first?

Color and cut out the pieces from
 the story.  Put in an envelope
 and take home to retell the story 
with your family.

Spell the characters and clothing
 articles with the letter tiles.

Count and record the hidden 
shapes in the hat. Decorate the
 hat any way you wish.

Whiteboard work… first we worked
 on number formation and number concepts.
 Then we have a few minutes to draw.

The retelling of The Hat … 
everyone present had a part of
 illustrating the story.

I thought it would be nice to add
 a little fun to our math.  We have been
 working on the same, more or less. 
So I set up some chairs and some children
 were on my train and then I had the
 children make another train with more
 children on it, less children on it.  
I discovered they knew the same
 and more quite well but were unsure of less.

Some learning centre pictures!
