Tuesday

Hello everyone!

We had an extremely busy day today! I was excited to get back into our Daily 5 routine but unfortunately we just didn't have a lot of time today! I try to do Daily 5 literacy on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday since we have library on Monday mornings and music on Thursday mornings. We will do better next week! We spent 10 minutes reading this morning instead and had an early snack. During work period we practiced our weekly words, decorated paper bags for tomorrow's Valentine's exchange, and continued with our 100s day writing from yesterday. We then had guest reader and a very quick second snack. Students then had the choice of doing a Star Wars yoga activity in room 13 for PE or doing Go Noodle in room 12. We then had our presentation from the Canadiana Musical Theatre Company.


After lunch, since we had a later lunch from 12:00-12:50, we had a quick mindful minutes and then students went to music. At the end of the day we talked about our upcoming Byblos Bakery visit and the Canada Food Guide. Remember to send some pita ingredients on Wednesday, February 20th!

Thank you for returning the white report card envelopes. I am still missing a few!

Tomorrow morning we are going to be doing a couple of 100s day experiments with our buddy class and in the afternoon we will be celebrating Valentine's Day! We were unable to fill our pom-pom jar to earn a Valentine's celebration, but I'm not completely heartless and still want to do something to celebrate! We will spend a part of our afternoon handing out Valentines and will do some Valentine's activities.

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
