Miss Shenae's EES Blog

This week was a week filled with learning. In math, we worked on measurements using non-standard measurement tools. Students were able to test out many non-standard tools like chains, pillows, chairs and tables to measure our friends' heights in the classroom. We also worked on organizing objects from tallest to shortest or vice versa. Students spent this week to think about the other ways we can measure objects without the use of a ruler or metre stick.                    In LA, this week, we wrapped up our nutrition topic while creating sentence strips from our read aloud based on each of the food categories. We then played a nutrition game in the gym where students received an image from a food group and placed it where it belongs. We had a whole lot of fun! Today, we made our own fridges where we decided which types of food we would like to place inside our fridge! We then cut, glued and decorated our fridges for display on our classroom bulletin wall.                          

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

This week has been very busy. Students were excited about the Halloween weekend and were still very excited this week about the amount of candy they had. But, I do like a busy classroom. This week, we started nutrition! We are learning about what is considered unhealthy snacks, and what is considered a treat. We are also learning about the different food groups and the portions of what we should have on our plates. We will dig more about this topic for this upcoming week.  During an activity, we discussed which foods are the healthiest choice as we used our Lumio interactive website in the classroom. We then cut, glued and organized by colour which items we prefer the most on a regular basis. This week, we also worked very hard on recognizing our soldiers who fights for our freedom. We will talk more on this, this upcoming week. We completed our Remembrance Day video for our poem, and read stories/ activities on what it means to wear a poppy. We also chose sentences on what we would li
