This week the students learned the expectations for their behavior throughout our school through PBIS (positive behavior interventions & supports) They learned how to be respectful, responsible and safe in the classroom, hallway, washroom, library, bus, special event, bus line, inside recess and outside recess. At the end of the week they were rewarded with a Popsicle for their efforts with this program.
The Jolly Phonics sounds that we learned this week were the letters t & i. We learned actions to go with these letter sounds and did fun activities on our whiteboard program. We made words and sorted pictures by beginning sound using the letters s,a,t,i. We continued our Look At Us! theme in reading. Some of the stories I read were The Gingerbread Man, Here Are My Hands, How Do You Feel, and The Way I Feel. We also talked about our senses and played Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes. Our focus was on left to right & top to bottom directionality, noting details, and compare/contrast. In math we sorted shapes by size, shape, and/or color. We have also been working on alike and different and which does not belong. Please continue to review these concepts at home. Find items your child can sort at home in a variety of ways. Review the sounds of the letters we have worked on (s,a,t,i) and find objects that begin with those sounds. Have a great weekend!
