Heart Charachters

Today we made heart character with different colors and sizes of hearts.  Some people made butterflies, cats, owls and caterpillars and lots of other animals. We also did writing about our love bugs.
We practiced mixing colours with oil pastels to make hearts.  We are  doing lots of Valentines art because it is almost February and because we are doing a Valentines exchange with other schools across Canada. We have to mail our Valentines by Friday so we are working hard to get them done. Today we worked on our writing about things that are only in High River and what makes High River unique and special.

Heart Tree

Today we split up for library by the grades we are in the Grade 1's made a shape with blocks and the Grade 2's sorted shapes. We finished our valentines art by drawing the tree and the hearts to go on the tree.  We also drew a beach and wrote some sentences about a beach together.
Today we had zones and we talked about triggers or things that make us change zone coloura.

Zones of Self Regulation

Today we looked at the Grade 3's journals and wrote down some ideas of what make a good journal entry.  We decided a good journal entry has neat writing, detailed pictures, have capital letters and periods.  They also needed to have who wrote it on the page.
The Grade 2's did a word search about fire safety words because a fire fighter came to talk to us today about safety.  The Grade 1's practiced their sight words with a coloring page.  We are starting to read and these sight words help us become better readers.  
Today we had our first class of Zones of Self Regulation.  We colored pictures of different emotions  and put them on the right colored zone.  There are 4 zones please ask me more about it tonight.

Skipping

Today in gym we did skipping in gym, we tried skipping with our feet together, running, and backwards. It was hard for lots of us.
We split into groups for library one group switched their books in their book box while the other went to the library to get new books, then we swiched so both groups did both activities.
Today we learned some new word work activities.

 Today we drew a New Year's baby and then we wrote about what we did over the Christmas holidays.  After then we shared it with the rest of the class.
