Happy St Patrick's day! My oh my! I think a leprechaun visited the class last night! He was a good one though- he left some of his green dust and read a book!
After the excitement of the leprechaun was over we got to work on some new sight words today!
We tackled some story writing today. We brainstormed possible ideas for our bunny stories. I was quite impressed with some of the stories! Some students still struggle with writing sentences that are all about the same topic, but we are getting there! Tomorrow we will be finishing these by creating our bunnies!
We talked about blends today. When two letters join together to create one sound- "bl", "br", "sh"... The list goes on!
The students brainstormed words that have blends and then the students worked on some blend pages.
To reinforce this concept we made some Shamrock Shakes! I explained it as when you add ice cream and milk and food colouring they all blend into one drink and are no longer separate, just like our sounds in the blend!
After lunch our class spent an hour in the gym learning more about badminton and gaining new skills!
We ended the day with health. We will be starting our new unit next week which will be all about healthy eating and the food guide.
Don't forget we have our spelling test tomorrow! There will be NO test next week as it is a crazy week and our Thursday before the break is a busy day already!
