We had a busy day today flying (pretending) to Meteghan. We explored things like clam digging, lobster fishing, whale watching and what the kids learn at school there. We also looked at some natural resources in that community and how it's different from Devon. We also talked a bit about it's history. Check out our lobster traps they made in the Dec folder.
Tomorrow during our first community afternoon, they will get a chance to try some food, build a clay lighthouse and to make a fishing game. Thanks to everyone for making sure the fees are paid. It helps us buy materials for these special days.
Here are a few other things we've been working on:
- math facts
- numbers to 100
- our weekly spelling activities
- Christmas reading comprehension activities
- Canada, it's provinces and territories
- Christmas writing
Today we practiced our first lock down drill. We do this just to be prepared in case of an emergency. The kids were very calm and responsible and did a great job.
Next week is going to be an exciting week. Parents, not that we don't want you to come but please do not enter the classroom. We will be working on some special projects. We will be crafting up a storm! Please let me know if your child will be missing any days at school next week. This is for people who may be leaving on holidays early, not sickness.
The kids also filled their jewel jar again and voted on a movie and stuffie day. We will do this on Wednesday. The kids are welcome to bring an extra snack or drink to have during the movie.
On Friday we will celebrate by having a brunch in the classroom. I will make pancakes and will ask the December volunteers to fill in the rest. I will contact those people today. The kids can also wear pjs that day, Dec 20th.
That's all for now. Remember that tomorrow is Christmas Spirit day.
