October 18


A wonderful Wednesday!

Our morning began with assembly where we sang O’Canada. Then we had register followed by the calendar, the weather and 100 days of school.

Next we had mathematics where the students completed activities related to our unit ‘Number Sense’.  




After that we had recess followed by phonics and UOI. In phonics the students practiced their letter formation of letter ‘Kk’.
In UOI the students explored the healthy habit of a ‘washing’. As a class they discussed ‘germs’ and the importance of washing our hands regularly. Then the students completed an experiment where they will observe the impact of germs using 3 slices of bread. The 1st slice was placed into a zip lock bag. The 2nd slice was touched by all of the students. The 3rd slice was sneezed upon. The students will watch to see how the bread is affected by the germs.







 Our afternoon began with P.E with Miss. Cranfield followed by Daily 5.

We then had afternoon recess followed by music with Miss. Elliot.
