Hello Families!
Our week was short- but full of love and kindness! We counted down excitedly to our Valentine's celebration, looking at the calendar each day, creating heart centred crafts and cards, reading stories all about love and kindness and waiting for School Valentine's Day to arrive.
This week our letter was "V". We think it is funny to make the /v/ sound as it makes our lips tickle! We can identify words that have the /v/ sound at the beginning, middle or end. Many names in our classes have a V in them- we could hear that sound when we said our classmates names. It was very cool.
We also know the word "Love" has the /v/ sound at the end. We practiced our drawing skills this week making Love Monsters or Love bugs. We also did journaling about "Things that we love!" Our goal was to try to label our illustrations with the beginning letter sound that matches our drawing. We know so many letters now, so this is getting easier. And it's ok if we are not right yet- we are practicing stretching out our words to hear the sounds and then printing, Adding letters to our drawings is exciting and a big step for us as we become stronger writers.
We also had fun learning a little bit about the Olympics. We had different Olympic centres this week. There was colouring, math games, pretend skating and pretend luge, and letter games connected to the Olympics. We are excited to hear about how our Canadian Athletes are doing at the games.
We also celebrated a big deal this week when our Pumpkin grew as tall as the window! It has finally reached the top of the frame! We can't believe it. We are watching how it is changing- wrapping its vines around the blinds, growing tiny prickles to protect him, and starting to grow buds that will turn to flowers. He has been loving the sunshine- just like the rest of us.
Have a wonderful Family Day weekend and Valentine's Day.
