Wednesday

Today we celebrated Hats On! For Mental Health. We had a chat about the difference between physical health and mental health. We shared some of the things we do when we have a bad day to help us feel better and discussed the importance of sharing how we feel. We also talked about safety and some of the things that make us feel safe at school and at home.


Students were working on 3D shape nets today as a responsible work choice. I told them they could take the shapes home if they want.

Some students who have finished up their animal research, have been learning how to use Google Slides to present their information. If you child is working on this, they will be bringing home their log-in information today. You are not expected to work on this at home, but the students are quite excited about it and are welcome to work on it at home. They also might want to show you what they are working on, or maybe they want to start a different slide show presentation on something else they are interested in. Today we learned how to add photos to the slide show. I recommend using the search engine "Kiddle" as it is more child-friendly. Here are the steps we were following:


Tomorrow we will be swimming - remember all of your swimming gear! 

 I found $5 on the floor after school today. Please let me know if you think this belongs to your child.

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
