Happy Winter Wonderland Families of Room 51!
Our Growth Mindset this week taught the children about how
the brain works in relation to learning.
We also did some Growth Mindset art based on the book, “The Dot”. Ask your child what they learned about the
brain and what they created in their dot watercolour art.
Hopscotch anyone? The
focus in math this past week was on doubles as students practiced their mental
mathematics, through math centers and also by drawing their own hopscotch board
in the compound, in order to play doubles in their groups. We saw some beautiful doubles art work.
Students continued writing their owl stories in language
arts, remembering to use proper capitalization and punctuation. They worked on writing sentences with their
words of the week while taking on the Mystery Word challenge as one of the
Daily 5 centers.
In social studies students began learning about mapping and
started making a map of the classroom, while in gym they continued practicing
their hockey skills, rotating through stations.
The students were singing
wonderfully as they practiced their Christmas concert songs for “How to Train
Your Reindeer to Fly”.
PLEASE NOTE:
Forms were sent home with
your child with concert information and TICKETS on it this week. Currently our gym is at capacity if every
student brings two guests, and we cannot give out any extras. BUT we are
asking families to RETURN THEIR TICKET(S) if they are not planning to attend
the evening performance, and we will redistribute those extra tickets to people
who are interested in more.
If you are interested in
more tickets, please let your child’s teacher know by Thursday at 3pm and your
names and request will be added to a master list in the office. Depending on
the numbers of requests and number of returned tickets, we will do a random
draw of those names on Friday afternoon
Here is a link to Mrs.
McBride’s Google Drive, which has ALL the Christmas concert lyrics and music so
your child can practice at home.
