We started our day with a Word Wall Mystery Words challenge! We then continued our story planning by deciding where our stories would take place, and what three locations our characters would visit before solving their problems! After recess, we had Literacy Centres, followed by phys ed. After lunch, we enjoyed Music with Mrs. Dennill! Only one student replied to our weekend math challenge-- so her problem was put on the Smart-board and the class tried to solve it! We finished the day with our second round of our Senses Science Centres!
Gymnastics Safety
This month the students are enjoying gymnastics in phys ed! Please send children with long hair either pulled back, or with a hair elastic, Monday through Thursday. It is recommended that students go barefoot during gymnastics, unless there are medical concerns, such as foot fungus. In those cases, sturdy running shoes are recommended. Students will be most successful in moveable, comfortable clothing. Dangling jewelry and accessories are a safety concern and will need to be removed during the activity period. Thank you for your support!
*Clarification* (re: March 9 Fish Creek Program)
Just to clarify, while the school calendar has March 9th as a Fish Creek field trip for grade ones, it is an in-school presentation.
