Halloween!!

 Hello all! 

Hope everyone had a great week. This week was filled with happiness, joy and smiles. As a class, we had a lot of fun, and worked hard on our transition routine. This week, we had the opportunity to carve pumpkins as a class! Students loved this, and participated in carving/ cleaning the pumpkin. We also attended the pumpkin patch, and we loved all of the creativity in what the other classes in our school did! We were so impressed. 
                    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Mr. Tomczyk also came in this week to read spooky stories with our class using flashlights. Students did so well listening to our spooky spooky story! 
Thank you parents for having your children participate in wearing costumes to school! They were so excited in showing off their outfits! 


This week, we also did an activity for this upcoming Remembrance Day assembly. We have started practicing the poem that will be read for our share of the assembly. The poem we will be reading is called "Poppy Poppy" We also proceeded in making poppies made from coffee filters, pompoms and paint. Though it was messy, students loved this art idea, and it was a big success! Check out our photos below. As a class, we watched a video on what "Remembrance Day" means, as well as the importance of this day. 

two students in our class has been practicing the lines of a poem for Remembrance Day. The other students will be included as well while these two students read the lines of the poem. 

Poppy poppy what do you say? 
Wear me on Remembrance Day.

Poppy poppy what do you tell? 
Many soldiers in battle fell.

Poppy poppy what should we know?
That peace on earth should grow, grow, grow. 





Finally, we visited the learning commons this week! We will start to do this every Friday. Students did amazing in getting a chosen book, bringing to the learning commons, and finding a seat to quietly read. I am very proud of them! 

Have a great Halloween weekend!

Welcome back!

These first two weeks back at school have been busy and exciting! We have mostly been getting to know one another, as we have some new staff and students in our EES classrooms. We have also been focusing on learning the new classroom routines and expectations. Our students are learning about the daily schedule by sitting at their table groups to go over our large visual schedule, both first thing in the morning and after lunch. Throughout the day some students are asking questions about what is coming up next, so they are learning to reference the schedule during these times. Our days look mostly the same, as predictability and structure helps our students remain regulated, with some changes to the schedule if we have gym or music class. We have been impressed with how well the students have been doing when coming together as a whole group to do our calendar time! From day one the students have understood the expectations around sitting as a group in front of the Smartboard- WOW!  ...

Short Week, Great Learning

This week, we have continued to learn about nutrition. We focused more this week on which is considered a treat, and what is considered a healthy food. Students did great organizing their plate as well as making healthy life choices. Additionally, we started to work on our nutritional flip books. This week, we have worked on the dairy, fruits and vegetable sections of our books. We proceeded by reading a book from "Epic Books" called "I can eat a rainbow" This week, we also worked on life skills for washing our hands the proper way. He worked on scrubbing both hands for 20 seconds before we proceed in rinsing under warm water. As a class, we will work more on this throughout the rest of the school year as we learn more about germs, and cleaning dirty areas before touching our faces, food, and others.  Here is a picture of washing hands that we have been working on for the past week. Remember, practice becomes perfect!  Since it was a short week, we are going in the ...

 Hello parents! It has been a while since the last blog post. A lot has happened within the last few weeks but very few changes. Since the last post, we have welcomed a new friend in the classroom and we have been so excited to see a new face in the classroom environment!  In Science, we have started to learn all about the butterfly life span. We are currently awaiting our caterpillars to arrive, but we have been introduces to learning what is a butterfly, what do they look like, and the lifespan from an egg to an adult. Students' tasks were to cut and paste the butterfly life span in order from an egg to an adult.  In math, we are practicing numbers to objects. Students have been using the online website called "Boom Cards" which is an interactive website that allows students to come up and practice their math/ LA etc goals as whole group, small group, and individual work times.  Additionally, we have been going on community walks to practice our road safety on the ...
