We have been learning the Lord's prayer in class this month. Jesus taught his disciples the Lord's prayer when they asked "Lord teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." -Luke 11:1-4

For No Excuse Words today we did Spelling Pictures.  The students traced a picture using the words of the week:

For Word Work we made lists of ear and eed words.

In our Nursery Rhyme unit today we worked with Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.  We read the rhyme and watched this video.  

After we talked about similes   This is when you compare 2 things using the word like.  For example; A star is like a diamond.  Here are some of the similes the kids came up with:

1. Snow is like a cotton ball.
2. A triangle is like a roof.
3. A tv is like a promethean board.
4. An iPad is like a computer.

In health we talked about fruits and vegetables.  We looked at the Canada Food Guide and found out that we need to eat 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

In art we used modeling clay to make our own colour wheels.  Check them out:

Have a great weekend!
