This week brought some cooler, wintry, weather which meant full snow clothes. Putting on, and taking off snow clothes independently is an important life skill for students to learn. We learn about why we need to wear snow clothes (because it sure is easier to not wear them!), how to put them on correctly, and what to do if we run into a problem with putting them on. We watched videos of other kids putting on their snow clothes, and Mrs. McLeod even brought her snow clothes in to show. After some practice, students were challenged to get dressed in and out of their snow clothes all by themselves, without any adult help. Those who were able to do it, got their picture taken for proof! These photos will be posted on SeeSaw soon so families can see if their child is able to do it.
In math, we learned and practiced 3 element patterns (ABC and ABB, AAB). These were tricky for some students so practice at home if you're able to. These are repeating patterns that go red, blue, green, red, blue, green, red, blue, green, or red, blue, blue, red, blue, blue, red, blue, blue, or red, red, blue, red, red, blue, red, red, blue. A reminder that these are examples of colour patterns, but the same rule applies for shape, kind, and action patterns.
We have studied all the letters from A-L as of this point. Please quiz your child at home on these letters in random order to ensure they are continuing to be reinforced. Don't forget to also work on the sound of the letters, words that start with these letters and printing them.
