This morning the students visited a number of literacy centres including some favourites - playdoh letter stamps, the shopping cart memory game, letter practice on the whiteboards, painting, and letter beading. I continued to assess the JKs to get a better idea of their ability to distinguish between letters and numbers. The class cleaned up very well, and I had time to reward all of les garçons et les filles with some pompoms in the jar before Gym and Health avec Mme. Murray! Féliciations, les amis!
In the Gym, a special surprise awaited the class... les canards (real, live ducks!)! The students enjoyed watching these playful critters and even got to touch them (Don't worry - they all very thoroughly washed their hands afterwards!). Thanks to Mme. Murray for arranging this unique experience. :)
Later on, we revisited our book "Regarde, par la fenetre" and we answered the question "Quel temps-fait il?" as a class. We completed our calendar and practiced "air writing" le numéro vingt deux. One student pointed to the numbers on the chart, and another moved "la pomme" over to the appropriate day. We did not get to our paper chain today, however the students did take part in a graphing exercise designed to represent the colour of their eyes (which was rather long overdue! Sorry for the delay!). The students then visited Math centres which included cube building, cookie-matching, sequencing, subitizing (matching counted pictures to actual numerical figures and realizing that they are equal to each other), and number-writing practice.
Students "read" silently at the tapis during break period, packed their belongings and got everything ready to go home, and then became engaged in free choice activities. All was well, and everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves! :)
A+
