Hello everyone, and welcome back to this week\u2019s Aurora blog. It has been a big week for our Aurora students. We started our first UOI lessons, made some auroras, started our phonics and writing practice, and had a lot of fun playing together!

Starting our very first UOI (Unit of inquiry)!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This week we started our first UOI (Unit of inquiry) lessons. For approximately 3 months we will be exploring the central idea of our first UOI, \u201cWe can be the same and different\u201d. Each UOI has 3 distinct LOI (Lines of inquiry). For this unit, we have the following LOI:

    For the first lesson, we asked the students to color a face with the same colors as themselves. They looked at their face in a mirror the teacher was holding before starting. We also discussed what kind of color their hair, eyes, skin, cheeks and lips were first. Although they could answer the questions, they were a bit too excited when coloring, so we got some interesting results!

    For our next lesson, we discussed the meaning of the words \u201cSame\u201d and \u201cdifferent\u201d. It\u2019s important for our young learners to get a good grasp of this before we can start talking about the many similarities and differences between ourselves and others.
    To reinforce this, we did an activity using a \u201cDifferent\u201d and \u201cSame\u201d board. The kids got a couple of cards with an image of either two matching objects or two different objects. Then, they attached the card to the correct board. They also had to explain to the teacher if the card was \u201csame\u201d or \u201cdifferent\u201d.

    Making our own Aurora\u2019s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    What is an aurora? We wanted our curious students to learn more about the name of our class, so we watched a video about Auroras and made our own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All the kids sat down, as we watched two short videos explaining and showing many beautiful examples of auroras. The teacher also helped explain while the video was playing, and asked them what colors they could see. They excitedly shouted out the colors they got see. \u201cIt\u2019s green!\u201d, \u201cBlue Aurora!\u201d and so on.

    After the video, the teacher showed them how to make their own unique Aurora.
    We used a black sheet and some colorful paint. We didn\u2019t use a brush this time, but instead a sponge to paint! They were all very proud of their creations. They are now on display outside our classroom for the whole school to see! Good job everyone!

    Phonics and writing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Every week, we will be focusing on a single letter from the alphabet.
    This week we, naturally, started with the letter \u201cA\u201d.
    We talked about the letter sound, followed by multiple examples of the words starting with \u201cA\u201d. We also colored a page with different pictures of things that being with the letter.

    Next up, it was time for our writing practice.
    First, we talked about the stroke order, and drew in the air using our fingers.
    In Rainbow, we have been crayons, but now it\u2019s time for pencils.
    The teacher first demonstrated how to hold the pencil correctly. As we handed out the pencils to the students, we helped them hold it correctly. The pencils we use are triangle shaped, so that it\u2019s easier for the kids to hold. I was happy to see trying their best to hold it correctly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They all worked diligently tracing \u201cA\u201d many times in their worksheets. Excellent tracing Aurora!

    All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Of course, we also have plenty of time for fun and games too!
    Whenever we have the chance, we like to play outside in the nice weather.
    And we will try to go to the park multiple times a week, so that they can use some of their endless amount of energy!
