Good morning families,
I hope everyone has been outside, enjoying the sunshine! It sure was beautiful yesterday!
I would like to take this time to apologize to everyone about the virus I got. I am mortified that it happened. Not being overly computer literate, I am still confused how it happened and how to fix it. At this time I am writing on my iPad and then sending the link to our class rep Michelle mclatchy (Theron's mom) so you can still get the news.
As Michelle has stated already you can contact me at ttaylor@vsb.bc.ca and I will check that email regularly. Sorry for the inconvenience to you!
In the two days that I was at school last week we were busy!
We looked at a couple of new Todd parr stories. One about feelings and one about the dos and donts of wearing underwear (a humorous book, but not only about underwear)
We then did a few projects based on these stories. We spent a lot of time talking about different feelings that we may have, including a new feeling that Brody heard the feeling of hangry. To be angry because one is hungry! We wrote about different feelings and did some feeling art on Friday! The children were very good at expressing their feelings and talking about appropriate reactions to different feelings!
On Friday one group of grade ones also got to make applesauce and we had a taste test. Ayana said that she loved that we made it ourselves and when we make things ourselves, things taste so much better. Well said Ayana! Some children did the tongue test. Which means you swirl the tongue through the sauce just to get a feeling of what it might taste like. These were the children who said they were certain they would not like it! I like to encourage just trying it. It takes twent tries before the brain thinks, aha, I love it! Next week the other group will make pear sauce and we will compare our two taste tests. Thank you to my cooking moms!
For the next two weeks our class along with our buddy class is sponsoring a food bank drive. We are asking all the children to contribute non perishable items like pastas, rice, cereals,beans, coffee, soup etc to this wonderful project. We talked to the children about how many families in the lower mainland struggle to make ends meet and often there are families who need to rely on the food banks regularly. We are hoping we can make a contribution to the food bank to help make someone's thanksgiving a little happier! Thank you!
With that, I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday. I will see everyone tomorrow!
Teri
