Thursday

Hello everyone,

Today we had Explore and Play and started our day off with Good Morning Yoga. Students then went to music. During snack we watched a video about 2-D shapes and then we had guest reader. We went outside for PE and during work period we worked on our weekly words, pattern snakes, and dream books. If students were all done their "must-dos," I gave them a shape pattern review/intro to number patterns task as an assessment to see if we are ready to move on to patterns in numbers.

In the afternoon, we had our literacy groups and talked about when to use capital letters and got together with our buddy class to finish up our maps of the school. Tomorrow we will have a busy day - in the morning we will be joined by Ms. Grant to continue working on our Salvador Dali art and we will have Alien Inline.

Swimming
We are beginning to plan for our spring swimming sessions at the Trico Centre. The schedule is not finalized however it looks like we will be leaving the school at 1:20pm and returning at 2:30pm. We are always looking for volunteers to help supervise in the change rooms. We will be swimming with Miss Ireland's class so her and I will be available to supervise the girls change room. We could always use more female volunteers but we will definitely be needing some male volunteers. Without someone to supervise the boys change room, we would be unable to go swimming. Here are the dates for swimming. Please let me know if you would be interested in volunteering and I will let you know if the times change.

  • Thursday, April 25th
  • Tuesday, April 30th
  • Thursday, May 2nd
  • Tuesday, May 7th
  • Thursday, May 9th
  • Tuesday, May 14th 
Upcoming Dates
On Wednesday, May 15th we will have our rescheduled field trip to the Arts Commons. This is an all day field trip and we will be leaving the school around 9am and returning around 2:30. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer!

Please also note that we are planning the Sharing Assembly for rooms 6, 12 and 13 on Friday, May 31st at 11am. All families are welcome to attend. 

We are also looking at some dates for our Fish Creek field trips in the spring so look out for that information soon.

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
