Happy Thursday!

Today we had a fun day!!!
We began the day with our morning exercise, circle time and snacks.
In Language we wrote in the  journals and worked on blends and digraphs. A consonant blend is when two or more consonants are blended together, but each sound may be heard in the blend. Here are the common blends we are learning: bl, br, cl, cr, dr, fr, tr, fl, gl, gr, pl, pr, sl, sm, sp and st.
A digraph is when two consonants stand together to represent a single sound.
Here are some common digraphs we have been working on: sh, ch, th, and wh.
In Math we worked and reviewed graphs. Students graphed different farm animals.
In our UOI on animals we read a book titled: "If I Were an Animal" by Woody. Next, students drew a picture of the animals they wish they could be.
Today we watched the gr. 10s participating in an obstacle course as part of the gr. 6s exhibition project.
Today students attended Gym and French classes.
 Have a great evening everyone!
