Cooperative Activities
This week, students participated in a variety of learning opportunities to practice their teamwork, turn-taking and cooperation skills. This upcoming week we will discuss in more depth, what works and what doesn't work when working with friends.

Library Visit
It was a dark and cloudy day during our trip to the Library this week so Mrs. Jong decided to read us some stories about colour! Students enjoyed guessing the upcoming rhyming words and what colours would be made when mixed together. She then showed the class a video of Harold and the Purple Crayon.
Book Making
Many students self-initiated a Book Making Centre this week. Some of the topics included Squirrels, Family, Butterflies and The Alphabet.
Adding pictures after the words are complete.

Creating our co-constructed calendar book
Each day, the Special Helper draws a picture about something we did that day. At the end of each month we will be adding all of the days to our Room 7 Calendar Book. Students practiced reading and writing the months of the year, the days of the week and the numbers on the calendar to add to our book.
