What Else is New in Room 23?

The "No, David" books are helpful when teaching students about making good choices. We created our "Peacemakers and Peacebreakers" chart as a reminder to think about choices before you make them.

We created our "Check 5" but it should actually be our "Check 6" poster, to help us remember what we need to do to be respectful listeners when we are at the carpet. We continue to work on this daily!

 Skip Counting is part of our daily calendar routine. Practice counting objects in groups at home (lego pieces, socks, spoons, coins, etc.)

Important pattern terms.

We have started "Read to Self" and we are working on becoming stronger readers! We have talked about what the students' job is during "Read to Self" and what the teacher's job is.

We have begun to add strategies to our CAFE menu. It is very important to stop and check for understanding when reading a story. Stop every few pages and talk about what is happening in the story.

We are learning new words and songs in French.

Line Art

Check out the awesome line art we created! We discussed different types of lines and learned about warm and cool colours before completing the leaf line art!

Welcome Back!

We had a wonderful first day back at school! We talked about how we felt starting a brand new school year, drank "jitter juice", created a time capsule that we won't look at until the end of the year and created our first class book titled, "First Day Feelings". Can't wait until next week, hopefully the weather continues to stay warm for the next while!
