We had such a fantastic Year Ahead Day today!
(My grade 3’s please see the end of the blog post for
important information, for the rest of the week
and see Mrs. Hocevar’s blog to
see what our class did today in grade 4!)
The Grade 3’s-to-be began their day with a morning meeting!
We started by saying good morning to everyone in the class and then we had a
temperature reading “how are you feeling on a scale of 1-5” some students like
to say super big numbers or even words to describe how they are feeling! It is
good to be reflective and for me to gain an understanding of how the class is
feeling each day!
For math we played addition bingo where the class was
required to add numbers and cover the sums on their cards until someone got a
bingo! We had some volunteers who were reading out the addition facts and
others who were playing! Winners received house points! We also played addition
baseball in teams, the class was in teams and were required to add two numbers
and tap the correct answer on the board before the other team! It was so much
fun and we had such good sports who encouraged their classmates!
For language we brainstormed different adjectives, nouns, and verbs, then we put different ones in a bucket and played charades with all of the different words we came up with! The class was so open to playing and acting in front of each other!
The class had lunch and recess with the older kids like they
will next year! It was great for them to get used to the different schedule!
After lunch and recess the class went to French with Mme.
Stella! When they came back we watched a short video to learn about pushes
versus pulls in the grade 3 UOI forces and motion unit! We then had a push and
pull scavenger hunt! In pairs the students found different things that you push
or pull around the room! We then had a fun activity where students could try
pushing and pulling a partner on a scooter to see how pushing vs. pulling feels.
After second lunch and recess the class came back and we did
a very special activity. We wrote letters to ourselves for us to open on the
first day of grade 3! We made goals, and wrote about our feelings, and I added
something extra special to help the class feel excited on their first day of
grade 3!
We ended the day with gym before packing up and heading to
kiss and ride!
Overall it was a fantastic day and I am so excited for next
year for all of the amazing grade 2’s to become amazing grade 3’s!
