Monday

Hello families,

Today we chose words from the "-ent" family. We talked about the difference between sent, cent, and scent! Students also wrote about their weekends. Before lunch, we enjoyed our first One World Drumming session. Our instructor, Roger, is hysterical and had the kids laughing the whole time. Everyone really seemed to enjoy it!


In the afternoon, we enjoyed gym outdoors in the sun and students went to music at the end of the day. Tomorrow we will be having library.

It may be the time of year to start sending an extra pair of socks to school - we had a lot of students with soaked socks after recess today. Hello Spring!!!

Volunteer Opportunity
I am still looking for volunteers for our Art Felt Studios visit on Wednesday, March 18th from 12:30-2:30pm. Please email me if you are available.

One World Drumming Sharing
On Friday, our class (and half the school) will be sharing what we learn in drumming. The sharing will take place in the gym from 10:30-11:30am. Seating will be limited. Join us if you can!

Hermit Crab Vacation
If anyone is interested in taking care of our hermit crabs over the March Break, please send me an email! If not, I can always take them home. They are pretty easy to take care of!

Card Club
Some adjustments have been made to Card Club to help things run more smoothly. There will be a Grade 1/2 card club every other week, and a Grade 3-6 club on the other weeks. This week, card club is for grade 3-6. There is no grade 1/2 card club this week.

Hello families,  We had a great week in room 11!  The highlight of our week was our field trip to Studio Bell. Students learned about sound, pitch, volume and rhythm. They had so much fun exploring different musical instruments! Thanks so much to the volunteers who were able to join us. This year we are also planning a field trip to the new SAM Centre at Stampede Park and the Zoo!                        I learned at Studio Bell that students do not know many (if any) Canadian musicians. So, during snack time we're having "Canadian Musician Appreciation Time" - we are listening to different Canadian artists and deciding if we enjoy the music or not. This week we listened to The Tragically Hip and Corey Hart (they had "the sunglasses" at Studio Bell). They also don't know The Beatles so we'll have to listen to some of their songs as well!  This week in science we also wrapped up our learning about matter, including...

Hello families,  Here's our weekly update!  This week students were working hard on a summative assessment for our patterns unit! Students had fun creating pattern art and used a checklist to make sure they were using specific types of patterns in their art. They also had a peer check their work to make sure they were including the correct patterns. On Monday, students planned their art, and on Tuesday they completed their art using crayons and watercolour paint. They look awesome!!  We worked on some skip counting a bit this week as well, including counting by 5s and 10s. This was pretty tricky for a lot of students and might be something we come back to after solidifying our understanding of place value. Here are the skip counting expectations for each grade:  Grade 1 1s to 100 starting at any number Backwards from 20 to 0 by 1s 5s to 100 starting at 0 10s to 100 starting at 0 2s to 20 starting at 0 Grade 2 1s to 1000, forwards and backwards starting at any number ...

Hello families,  Here's our weekly update!  In September we are focusing on building community in our classroom, getting to know each other, and learning classroom routines and expectations. I can tell the biggest thing we need to work on is noise level! 😅 We read the story "We Don't Eat our Classmates" and talked about treating other people the way we want to be treated. Students had fun doing a step-by-step drawing of a T-rex!  We also learned about calendars and completed a calendar activity for September. Grade 2 students labelled each day and wrote the special days in September. Grade 1s could choose a calendar template where they wrote their own numbers to 30 or traced the numbers to 30. They were then asked to colour their calendar in a pattern as I wanted to see what they know about patterns already. These calendars will come home each month to help students and their families remember important events at school. We have so many birthdays in September and wil...
