Happy 2014 to all of you!! For those of you who traveled over the
holiday season, I hope you enjoyed your trips and welcome back! It’s hard to believe that nearly half
of the school year has gone by.
The Christmas concert was a great
success! The children all did such
a wonderful job singing and dancing.
They worked very hard to learn their songs and I think their hard work
really paid off.
During December, we have continued
learning about maps. We made a
population map of where everyone in our school comes from and compared America
and China.
The class has also almost mastered all
of the alphabet letters so we will begin to move onto sight words during this
month.
Class Updates
Recently the class has learned about
reading a book by using it’s pictures.
We have started reading to our Toddler friends and Lisa and Aston both
did a wonderful job with their buddies!
Jules has begun asking many questions during our lessons, such as, does
America have mosquitoes and zoos?
Nanding quickly picked up our Christmas dance during the short time she
was at school, which showed such great dedication. Kai has been making amazing constructions out of
blocks. Sometimes it’s a game,
other times it will be a huge house, once it was even a car with wheels! Ann and Riku have both really been
enjoying our math lessons lately and have started really leading class
participation in those lessons!
Lucas and Aston have taught me a lot about Superheroes and how important
it is to have muscles and be strong.
The Cat and Dog Guided Reading books are some of the favourites in our
room right now. It is also nice to
see that the class remembers friends who have left the school, such as Jacob,
Koki, and Shota, whom often get brought up in our discussions about maps and
different places in the world.
Two Little Blackbirds
Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill,
One named Jack and one named Jill.
Fly away, Jack; fly away, Jill,
Come back, Jack; come back, Jill.
