Weekly Work
  • We have been learning about the colours of the Liturgical year. Specifically focusing on four colours; purple (before the feast), white (during the feast), green (after the feast) and red (Feast of the Holy Spirit). We will be going into the church to see where we can find these liturgical colours. 
  • In our phonics we are working on the sounds of h, m and k.We will be looking at both initial and final sounds of these letters
  • We are still building our reading stamina and are now reading for ten minutes! Students have also been introduced to some of our word work tasks for literacy centers. 
  • In Math, we will be counting using a chart, reviewing the concept of less and more, and counting the extras to find out how many more. 
  •  Science is beginning this week. We will start with weather words and observe the weather we see outside. Also, we will talk about the sun and how we have day and night.
