Monday:
We
celebrated Earth Day today by learning about ways to help care for our earth.
We have been learning a song called “Own Two Hands” that we will be performing
for our moms at the Mother’s Day celebration.
Students
used old magazines to cut and paste flowers, trees, or planets. We talked about
the importance of reusing materials when we can.
During
quiet time we watched the 20 minute animated version of The Lorax.
Tuesday:
We
continued to learn about ways that we can help protect the earth. We read a
story called “I can save the Earth” and brainstormed simple ways that we can
help. Each student chose something they wanted to focus on and wrote it on the
bottom of their art work from yesterday.
Wednesday:
Thank
you for attending the student-led conferences. The kids loved sharing some of
what we do with you. We spent most of the day preparing for your arrival with a
Spring Cleaning of the classroom.
Thursday:
We had
an exciting Thursday with a surprise visit from the local fire department. The Surrey
Firefighters sent a crew over to teach kids about some of the equipment that
firefighters use. We spent the rest of the day learning about fire safety and
other ways that firefighters help in the community. We also played a game to
practice how to STOP, DROP, and ROLL.
You
can find the link to a quick fire safety video that they students watched in
class. It is good to talk to the kids about an escape plan and where to meet if
there were to ever be a fire in your home.
Friday:
With
all the beautiful weather, we took advantage of being outside. We started our
day with a toy meet and greet. We practiced our prediction skills by reading, “The
Cow That Laid an Egg”, and then completed an egg themed math activity practicing
our addition skills up to 12.
In the
afternoon, we joined our buddies outside to draw and design games on the playground
using sidewalk chalk.
Important upcoming dates:
Friday,
May 4th- Pro-D Day (No school)
Thursday,
May 10th- Mother’s Day Tea Party
