Monday

Hello everyone! 

This week we are doing summer themed weekly words - each student chose a list for the week! 
Blue List: sun, fun, run, June, rest, trip
Green List: July, flowers, hiking, outside, summer, shorts
Orange List: camping, air conditioner, August, gardening, frisbee, sandcastle

The students really enjoyed art day today. We did this in collaboration with Miss Ireland, Mr. Link and Mrs. Green. Students did 3/4 of the art activities and each teacher taught a different one. Here are some pictures from my pineapple art and Mr. Link's jellyfish art! Our class also did some step-by-step drawings with Mrs. Green and we may have to borrow Miss Ireland's dragonfly painting activity later this week! 



Here are the activities for the rest of the week. Today we tried to earn stuffed animals for tomorrow but unfortunately we did not! Students can bring a 2 things...
1. a blanket OR a sleeping bag, 
2. and a flashlight if you want to send one!
Please do not send stuffed animals or tents! (these are the questions I've been getting today!)

Tuesday June 25th - Camping Day!
  • Please send in a flashlight for your child if you can. If you have a sleeping bag or blanket that you might be able to send in for the day as well, that would be great!
Wednesday June 26th - Board Game Day!
  • If able, please send in any board games that your child can teach a small group! Ones that have minimal pieces are ideal as we don’t want to make a big mess or lose any of them!
Thursday June 27th - Last Day and Party!! Dismissal at 12:15pm
  • If you would like to contribute to the end of the year celebratory snacks for the day, please email me!
Please send a bag of any kind (grocery, reusable, etc) by Wednesday, June 26th with your child, in order for them to bring home their journals and books from the school year. We will be sending everything home at the end of next week!

As another reminder, if you haven’t already done so, please send in any home reading books you may have so we can add them back to our classroom library!

Report cards will be coming home on Thursday, June 27th. We are not able to send them home before this. If your child will not be here on the last day of school, please let me know. You will be able to pick up their report card in September or you can provide the school with an addressed, stamped envelope and we will mail you the report card.

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
