Sorting

In math we did some math sorting centers today.  We sorted buttons and shapes on paper and stickers in duck duck moose.
We were practicing our song for the Christmas concert in Music.  We got some new library books in library.

Can you Blow a Bubble?

Today we learned a new game called "Koo Koo Where" are you in Music.  We started making colour poster because our new unit in science is going to be about colours.  We did some more sorting today and we are getting really good at sorting in different ways
We tried to blow bubbles with bubble gum like they did in the 50's.  Tomorrow we are going to write about the steps to blow a bubble just like we did for the steps for making a root beet float.

We can Subitize!

We read a really funny book called The Book With No Pictures today. Everyone was laughing
We watched a subitize video and played a subitize game with a friend where read the numbers on a dice.We made a  video with our partner to show how we know how to subsidize too.
We finished out work during catch up and  had Makerspaces in Library.  We practiced Hula hooping in gyn because they liked to do that in the 1950's and today was our 51st day of school

50th Day of School

Today was the 50th day of school! We had Rootbeer floats because that was a treat in the 1950's.  We made a book about the steps to make a float.  The first step is to put the ice cream in the cup,  then we put the pop and straw in, last we drink it! 
We did some math centers about the number 50.  1 was we made 50 gumballs with bingo dabbers on a plate.  We also played a game called "Race to 50".  Another center was coloring the numbers on the paper and it made the number 50.
We had lots of fun and had some really great costumes in our room! 

What kind of Animal Ears

We read a book about apples on top and made a page for our class book about how many apples were on our head.  We also practiced our subitizing today.  We did daily 3 and we either listened to reading, read to self or worked on writing.
We talked about animal ears and we choose what kind of animals ears we would want.  Today some more people presented their High River projects and they are bringing them home today.  The rest of us will finish and present our projects tomorrow.

We Fill Buckets

Today for morning bins we did some more sorting.  There were dinosaurs, lids and cars.  We know we can sort by colours, shapes and sizes.  We talked about the sight word "is" today and then we wrote sentences on other peoples book to fill their bucket like "____ is smart." or "_______ is kind."
We worked on our Highlights of High River projects today and 3 of us presented our projects to the class today.  We also learned a new game called Hornet tag in PE.

Tasting

We did some sorting centers in math.  Some of the things we sorted were animals, blocks and spools.  We talked about tasting and tried some different food like lemons, grapefruit, rockets and pretzels. 
We talked about our tongue and we know that our tongues are covered with bumps called taste buds.  We learned about animal teeth and we got to pick what kind of teeth we would like is we were animals.
We worked on our highlights of High River project.  Some of us are finished and will show the class tomorrow.We read a book called "Goodnight iPad" that was kind of like the book "Goodnight moon".  We also watched Good night moon and compared them.  We read a book called "The Spoon and The Dish" in Library and then got new books. In music we sang a song about Santa wanting new teeth.

Touching.

We practiced reading our colour words by colouring a picture the right colours.  We talked about touch today and we picked what kind of skin we would like and why.  We made a 3D hand because we were talking about things that we liked the feeling of. 
We started making our "Highlights of High River" projects some people are using pictures, some are using boxes and some are using Lego.  We learned a new game in gym called hornet tag

Remembrance Day Assembly

We had an important assembly today for Remembrance Day.  Two kids from our class put the wreath at the front. 
We worked on our art form yesterday.  We are making winter trees instead of fall trees because that is what it looks like outside. We went on the Ipad's and we made 3 pictures about what people, animals and plants in fall.
We got to eat 2 rockets today. The first time we ate one rocket it wasn't so sour because we plugged our nose, the second one we didn't plug our nose and it was way more flavorful.  We know that is because our sense of taste and our sense or smell are connected. 

Remembrance Day Wreath

We each made a poppy for our class wreath that we will use at the Remembrance Day ceremony on Thursday.  We learned about different animals smelling.  One animal was a hammer head shark who uses his nose to smell fish.  We each picked what animal nose we want to put on a monster we will design next week.  We talked about the "r" sound.  We drew a rat and then we wrote 5 words that start with the r sound. We are getting very good at sounding out words. 

We can find Canada on Google Earth

We started our Remembrance Day art today.  We drew designs with white crayon and painted some papers black.  We went on google earth and found Canada.  After some of us played with google earth and found our school.  We also looked for Ontario and Canada in the atlas because that is where our letter came from today.
We played a game in math where we had to subitize the numbers on the 10 sided dice and then tell what number come before and after that number

We can find Canada

We opened two more letters today, one was from Saskatchewan and one was from Alberta.  We are getting very good at finding Canada on maps.  We know it has the islands at the top. 
Today we are bringing all of our work that we have done in September and October to show it off to our parents.  We also got to pick one thing to put in our frame in our classroom.
