Monday

Hello families!

This morning we learned a new material and talked about the letter "B." There was a little confusion on Bs vs Ds so this will be something to focus on this week! We learned how to use the Teen Board material to learn numbers from 11-20 and students brainstormed and chose words from the "-ab" family.

In the afternoon we had gym and we played a new game called "Cheese Movers." At the very end of the day, students had music! 

Don't forget to return your "homework" from the weekend! I will start reading the Guess Who cards tomorrow. 

Library
Tomorrow we will be having library for the first time this year! We do not have a set schedule for the year but I am hoping to get a time on Tuesdays. I will let you know our regular library time as soon as I know. We will have library every week however students may keep their book for 2 weeks before it becomes over due. 

Scholastic Book Orders
So, I would love to blame Scholastic for not sending me flyers this month but I think it was actually my fault. I borrowed some flyers from other teachers but unfortunately there were not enough to send home with everyone. I think I have this sorted out for next month! Here are photos of this month's Scholastic Flyers! 

Take a look at the flyers below! You can order online here: SCHOLASTIC ONLINE ORDERING
Otherwise, you can send me a note or email with the item number and the name of the product and send a cheque - Scholastic does not accept cash! Make sure to use the price listed under AB with tax included (orange column)

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
