POD: Fire Prevention Week Assembly
It was absolutely freezing this morning — I needed both a hat and mitts while on duty! Hard to believe that just last week it was close to 30 degrees. What a change!
Our spelling words today were 2, 12, 20, and 200. Our “Show, Not Tell” sentence was “The movie was amazing.” We started our morning with Heggerty listening games and completed our maze before moving on to other lessons.
The class took some time to make goodbye cards for our classmate Arsen, who celebrated his last day with us today. We will truly miss him and wish him all the best — once a Cub, always a Cub!
In math, we reviewed number lines and rewatched our greater than/less than videos. We practiced representing numbers in different ways and used hundreds charts to add quickly and accurately.
Recess was chilly, but everyone braved the cold and got some fresh air. Hopefully, everyone had their warm layers on!
After recess, our JMH mentors dropped by for another visit. They came prepared with fun activities — I spotted a few games of hangman and even a scavenger hunt happening around the room. I hope everyone remembered to stay respectful and focused while still having fun.
Before lunch, we squeezed in a short “read to self.” Then came pizza day! We watched Bad Kitty Goes to School — read by the author — while enjoying our lunch. Even though it was a cold day, we still managed to get outside for a bit of fresh air.
In the afternoon, we headed straight to the gym for a presentation from the Fire Department. They talked about charging batteries and devices safely and gave us some homework: Do you know your civic address? Have you checked your fire alarms lately?
Back in class, we had just enough time for students to finish their cards for Arsen, while others jumped onto Reading Park. I even heard someone say they’ve earned five coins already — great job!
Remember, there is no school for students tomorrow due to PL day and no school Monday for Thanksgiving.
Have a wonderful long weekend, Cubs — stay warm, stay safe, and I’ll see you on Tuesday!
