This morning we read a book about families all over the world. After a sharing circle, we wrote in our journals about why we love our families. After recess we reviewed our Sound City phonic 'chunks' and our letter formation with some mystery back-printing. After badminton rallying in phys ed, we tried a couple of new number sense activities on our rekenreks. In the afternoon we had a guest expert, Melissa (a nutritionist as well as our friend's mom!) come talk to us about choosing healthy foods from the 4 food groups. We made a visual journal page of our "perfect plates," with our favourite foods from each of the groups, then finished the day sorting pictures of different foods from all of the food groups.
Sight Words
We are reviewing previously learned phonic "chunks" and sight words.
Math Facts
When we play fact fluency games in class, we are currently reviewing doubles, "ten buddies," one more (+1) and one less (-1) facts. Please feel free to review these at home! It can be a fun way to pass time during car rides or waiting in line, and you can use simple items like dice or playing cards to make a game of it. For example, roll the die or take a card -- what is that card's "ten buddy?" What is one more or one less? What is the double of that number? How fast can you go!?

Daily Challenge
We learned from Melissa that fruits and veggies are superfoods that give our bodies vitamins, minerals, and more! Grains give us energy! Dairy and alternatives help build our bones and teeth! Meat and alternatives (proteins) build our bodies with muscle! What is your favourite healthy food from each food group?
