We’ve spent these first weeks getting to know one another, establishing classroom routines, beginning new units of learning, and taking part in some fun STEM challenges!
Students also completed a survey to help us get a sense of how everyone is feeling about the new school year. The survey included questions such as, “What is your favourite subject?” and “How do you do your best work?” Check out the pictures on our class website to see some of the results!
In literacy, we’ve started a reading comprehension unit focused on reading strategies. Our first area of focus is making connections. We’ve also started our home-school journals, The Book of Thoughts. These will be coming home today for you to look at and respond to. Please take a moment to read the inside cover of the journal, as it contains some important information about the activity.
We’ve also started a new read-aloud, The Lost Library. Read-aloud time takes place throughout the week and is shared with Mr. O’Connor’s class.
Some other highlights from the week include:
Starting our soccer unit in gym. So far, we’ve been working on ball control and passing.
Lego Art: Students are creating Lego versions of themselves to display in the classroom.
Starting our government unit in social studies. So far, we’ve been discussing the difference between rules and laws.
Figure Me Out math activity.
Library orientation, including a fun game of Kahoot!
And so much more!
It’s been great getting to know our new families and welcoming back those of you who were with us last year. If you haven’t had a chance to swing by the classroom yet, please do!
I’m also looking forward to seeing families at our Meet the Teacher Open House on Thursday, September 24, from 5:00–5:30 p.m.
