Thursday

Hello everyone,

This morning we had Explore and Play and music. During work period, we were working on our weekly words, patterns and dream books. We also had guest reader and PE.

In the afternoon we had our literacy groups where we continued working on Voice in our writing. We also enjoyed a little bit of free choice time since we haven't had time the last two weeks! At the very end of the day we enjoyed some birthday treats for two birthdays in our classroom.

In case you missed it yesterday, please take some time to read the following message about online safety.

Due to recent events regarding “The Momo Challenge”, some students came to school today talking about the images they’ve seen and stories they’ve heard due to various news broadcasts. This prompted a whole class sit down regarding internet safety. I reinforced what to do if they ever saw something inappropriate or uncomfortable on the internet: walk away and get an adult.

“The Momo Challenge” may be the most recent viral phenomenon, but it is not the first and unfortunately will not be the last. I encourage you to have a similar conversation at home this evening regarding internet safety as a whole, and revisit your parent controls on any devices that are able to access the internet.

Here is a link to support your own understanding, as well as family conversations on the topic:

Did you know we have a page on our web site called Parent Resources?

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
