Happy Tuesday!

We had a great day!
In the morning we had gym class, snacks and circle time (calendar, weather, songs...).
Next, as part of our UOI, we had a especial guest coming from the Dairy Framers of Ontario.
We talked about health eating, benefits of milk products and how cow gives us milk.

 

In the afternoon we had French class and language. In language we met a new animal friend: Ellie Elephant. We then sang our phonics song for the letter E.

Next we did Es using play dough. Then we worked on beginning sounds for the letters T, S and M. JKs cut out the pictures and glued them under the correct beginning letter sound. This is a great activity to increase their phonetic awareness as well as their fine motor skills.

After second lunch and recess we had reading buddies and centers. For centers today JKs used numeracy puzzles and math manipulatives in order to practice 1:1 correspondence.
1:1 correspondence is crucial to learn as it is used in our every day lives. Most children can rote count fairly easily, however this demonstrates memory and not the understanding of concept of quantity.
We will continue practicing 1:1 correspondence throughout the year.
Have a great evening everyone!
