A Look At Our Day

Here's a look into what the students were doing today. Make sure to ask your child what they did today. If you get the famous answer "I don't know" or "I forget", show them these pictures to see if that will help them.

We've been working on "ing" words. The students had the opportunity to write some "ing" words on the SMARTBoard. Ask your child if they can think of any "ing" words.

We have a new math game at the Math Centre. See if your child can tell you what it is!

A few students enjoyed some quiet puzzle time in our Reading and Writing Corner.

A creation in progress at the light table.

The students were curious about how light came through the different colour paper.

Some students enjoyed playing a letter match game with our co-op student.

Another Student Reading

Listen to the clip of a student reading. She did a great job! On the first two pages, she read in 3 word phrases. This is an important skill. When readers read fluently, they maintain comprehension more easily. On the third page the student said, "I see a big buil". The student began to say "building" instead of "bus". This is a good substituation as the student used meaning, visual information and structure. The student also used a great strategy to correct her error and sounded out the word. This student also corrected herself when she said "said" and then said "I said".  Finally, the student used visual information when she said "I come" for "I can" and then corrected herself. This student is using great reading strategies and is monitoring her reading very well. On the last page, the student continues to work on reading in 3 word phrases instead of word by word.
