Bonjour!
Happy Thursday!
Here are today's lessons:

Numeracy
Environment and Community Awareness
Outcomes:
-use patterns to describe the world and to solve problems
-demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns
-sort a set of objects based on a single attribute
-becomes aware of colours, shapes, patterns and textures in the environment
Directions:
-head outside and look around for some "treasures" from nature. Examples might be various leaves, pinecones, stones etc.
-Once they have a pile of stones they are to sort them into whatever groups they choose.
-Demonstrate how to create repeating patterns with their objects.-Continue to extend the learning by pointing out patterns you see while you are out. The leaves on the trees or the way that cars are parked in the parking lot can all be used as teachable moments for pattern exploration.

Literacy
Outcomes:
- proper formation of upper and lower case letters
Today I would like students to practice the proper formation of their lower case letters again. Please see the blog post from April 21 for the examples.
