Teddy Bear Day

Today was teddy bear day!
Everyone brought in an animal friend to spend the day with us. 
(Most bears behaved themselves and kept out of trouble.) 

Our bear friends went just about everywhere with us and did just about everything with us, the exception being going outside for recess and washroom visits. 
Here's a sneak peak at some of today's happenings:

The bears helped us deliver mail to the office.

We compared and sorted our friends by fur colour, clothing, type of animal, and size.



Our animal friends helped us put the 
teddy bear express back in order.

We brought our friends to the gym to play some games.

(Slightly challenging with the BIG bear!)

We made teddy puzzles.



We enjoyed some delicious bear treats with our friends!





It was a BEARY good day!

Review Week

There are several "Review Weeks" planned throughout our school year, and this week just so happens to be one of them! 
We are reviewing all of the letters that we have covered so far this year: Ss, Aa, Tt, Ii, Pp, Nn, Cc and Kk.

We play a wide variety of games during the week, including such things as Letter hunts, Around the World, Where's the Bear, Letter/Picture Sorting and we also practice our Jolly Phonics songs and actions. 
Autumn Write-the-Room
(contains first 8 JP letters)
 can be found HERE or HERE. 





The Jolly Picture Sorting activity
 can be found at both
my TPT store or my TN shop.

We have three rotating math centres this week, and since yesterday was a school spirit dress up day, 
Curious George, Princess Rapunzel and Thing 3 were playing a Bear shape matching game:

Bat man, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella were working on a Brown Bear number activity:

And our Firefighter, Cinderella 2 and Batman 2 were playing a Roll and Cover game:

Everyone in the class dressed up.
Such school spirit!
Way to go!
