Monday

Hello everyone!

This morning we had library and enjoyed PE outside since there was a sharing assembly during our PE time. We then chose our weekly words from the "-amp" family and went to the gym to see the "sharing assembly" which was more like a museum of sharing in the gym. The grade 3/4 classes shared some awesome work!


In the afternoon we had our literacy groups with Ms. Kassam where we continued choosing our Weekly Words and started working on a math task that students will be sharing during this week's Student-Led Conferences.

We have been working a lot on skip counting and number patterns. In grade 1, students are expected to:
- Count by 1s forward between any two given numbers
- Count by 1s backwards from 20 to 0
- Count by 2s forward from 0-20
- Count by 5s and 10s forward from 0 to 100

In grade 2, students are expected to:
- Count by 2s, 5s, and 10s, forward and backward, using starting points that are multiples of 2, 5, and 10 respectively
- Count by 10s using starting points from 1 to 9 (ie. 7, 17, 27, 37, etc.)
- Count by 2s starting at 1

Practicing skip counting only takes a few minutes! The commute to and from school is a great time to practice!

I won't share too much about our work this week in order to keep some things a surprise for Student-Led Conferences. Again, if you have not yet registered and you are having trouble, please let me know and I can book you in!

Volunteer Needed!
This Wednesday afternoon, we are going to be working on our Salvador Dali paintings again. I could use some help with organizing materials and pouring paint for students, as well as supporting students with their painting and colour mixing and tidying up the mess afterwards! Please let me know if you're available to help out around 12:45.

Hello families,   We made it through our first (almost) full week of school! We are focusing a lot on learning expectations and building classroom community. We’ve been enjoying starting each day in circle getting to know our classmates.  The pictures will be a little limited for the first few weeks until we have photo release information!  This week we talked a lot about carpet expectations. We read a story called “Whole-Body Listening at School” and learned about Listening Larry. Ask your child how many parts of our body we can listen with… it’s not just our ears. You can also follow up with “Whole Body Listening at Home” if this is something you are working on at home as well! I also like to use my cat, Eli, to show carpet expectations!   Whole Body Listening at Home This week we started some introduction lessons to the UFLI literacy program. We’ve been learning how our mouth moves in different ways to make different sounds. We also started learning about “sky, grass, dirt” letters

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!  We had a great first week of school! I have a goal this year to be a little more concise with my blog posts. We'll see how it goes!  This week we spent some time getting to know each other. We learned about sharing circles and have started both mornings in circle getting to know more about one another. We are learning the importance of listening to each other and giving everyone a chance to speak.  We also read the story "You're Finally Here" by Melanie Watt. We enjoyed re-creating the main character of the story. It was great to see students' cutting skills and their ability to follow each step of the activity. We talked about how the eyebrows can convey different feelings and can really change the bunny's expression.  On Friday we learned a math game called "What's My Number?" we played teacher versus students and they beat me! Next week, students will play the game with their classmates.  Fun Lunch School Council organizes Hea
