Casual Wednesday

We read a story to start our day about the Tattle Tongue. This was an interesting story and a lot of friends are concerned that this is real and it could potentially happen to them!! AHH! They don't want a yellow tongue with purple spots! We learned when it is a good time to tell an adult and when it is tattling... for example: Telling Ms. Gray that someone got a pencil from the pencil box = NOT something to tell the teacher in the middle of the lesson. If someone is in danger or hurting your feelings or body then you tell the teacher immediately. We learned the "Rules of Tattling" according to the Tattle Prince. 

After we read our story and talked about the rules of tattling... we worked on our phonics. We learned how to neatly write the letter Jj and the sound that Jj makes! We practiced this by writing in our phonics journals. We found a bunch of words that begin with the letter Jj and we even have a friend in our class that starts with the letter J! Almost all of us drew this friend in our phonics journals! :)

During our inquiry into Math we took our math test! We did VERY well on our math test and we followed directions the whole time. Ms. Gray was so proud of us because everyone kept their eyes on their own paper and we were able to complete the test with ease!

After this we wrote our reflections for our report cards! We talked about all of the things that we learned this term and made a list on the board. Our friends then wrote their reflections. When everyone was done with their reflections we had 5 minutes of free-time in the classroom. Some friends chose to read in the tent, some chose to play with Legos and some friends chose to draw pictures! We had a lot of drawings of the Solar System today!

During our unit of inquiry we were learning about the planet, Mercury! We watched a video on Mercury and then we used glitter and grey crayon to colour the planet. Ms. Gray is excited to put them on the windows! We will be learning fun facts about all of the planets. After this, we had a dance party and practiced our dance for the Christmas Concert! Then it was time to pack up and go home! :)
