Monday

Hello families,

What a chilly day! I'm looking forward to a slightly warmer day tomorrow!

This morning we had library and some work period time. During work period we worked on our weekly words, our dreams for ourselves and number lines. Students in grade 1 were plotting numbers on a number line from 1-20 and grade 2s were plotting numbers 1-100. This week, students chose between 3 spelling lists with Valentine's Day themed words.


Pink List: red, pink, like, love, bug, hug, mine, card
Purple List: love, heart, rose, candy, adore, pink, purple, Cupid
Red List: February, Valentine, chocolate, flowers, affection, admirer, bouquet, embrace

In gymnastics, we attempted to set up Mission Impossible since it wasn't set up this morning. Hopefully tomorrow it will be fully ready to go! Our lunchroom supervisor was away today but she will be back tomorrow! We spent lunch indoors because of the temperature. In the afternoon, we had our literacy groups with Ms. Kassam and some more work time. We were missing a few students today so I didn't want to start too many new things! The students had some resposible work choice time once they were done all of their "must-do" jobs.

By the end of the day, the lack of fresh air was getting to everyone! We did our classroom jobs, read a chapter of Smallfoot and watched some videos about the Chinese New Year.

Hello families,  We had a very busy week getting ready for our winter concert and our Calgary Humane Society fundraiser! Students love baking and packaging treats, making posters, and some students were even challenged to learn how to curl the ribbon! On Friday we used our skip counting skills to count up all the money we've raised so far. We've raised $666.85 and are hoping to break our record of $700 from last year! All of this work is connected to our health and wellness curriculum (volunteerism), social studies, science, art, math and literacy! Wow! Math In math we've been continuing to work with number bonds. This week students learned how to determine the missing number in a number bond when given the whole and one of the parts. This is a pre-cursor to subtraction! We used manipulatives and drawings to help us with this work!  We also re-invented our Spider Legs math game to make it Christmas themed! Instead of drawing a spider and adding legs, students used a tree an

Hello families,  Here's our weekly update!  In September we are focusing on building community in our classroom, getting to know each other, and learning classroom routines and expectations. I can tell the biggest thing we need to work on is noise level! 😅 We read the story "We Don't Eat our Classmates" and talked about treating other people the way we want to be treated. Students had fun doing a step-by-step drawing of a T-rex!  We also learned about calendars and completed a calendar activity for September. Grade 2 students labelled each day and wrote the special days in September. Grade 1s could choose a calendar template where they wrote their own numbers to 30 or traced the numbers to 30. They were then asked to colour their calendar in a pattern as I wanted to see what they know about patterns already. These calendars will come home each month to help students and their families remember important events at school. We have so many birthdays in September and wil

Science & Social Studies This week we've been enjoying learning more about water! Our sharing assembly on the 30th will be all about water and Earth Day! We learned that not everyone has access to clean drinking water and we came up with ways to conserve water for Earth Day. Students made posters to share with the rest of the school. Earth Day is on Monday, April 22nd! We also made some water inspired art that will be in the display case near the front office.  For our assembly we are learning
