We have had a great last few days!
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for a wonderful first month at Ardagh! Everyone has been so kind, and welcoming! Ardagh is a fantastic school, and I am proud to be a teacher here. Thank you so much for making me feel so "at home". The students have been so helpful and patient as I have learned routines and have been very accepting of change. They are fantastic little people!
Tomorrow is pink shirt day to show our support of bullying prevention!
We have been busy these past few days and are wrapping up our study of Todd Parr with an activity, and we will be starting to read some Dr. Seuss books this week in preparation for Dr. Seuss' birthday March 2nd!
Today we:
- Had Outdoor Play
- Had Free Play indoors
- Had Math with Mrs. Robbins (area and perimeter)
- Had literacy
- Had grade 2/3 reading buddies and half the class started their Todd Parr art and writing
- Were introduced to a new problem solving method, Visual timer, and a few more items were added to our sensory toolkit
Here are some pictures from the last few days:
