Hello families, 

Here's our weekly update! 

Math

In math we are continuing to work on mixed addition and subtraction word problems each morning. We also learned more about non-standard measurement this week. Students had fun using different measurement tools to measure items in the classroom. We also learned the iteration process for measuring and had fun measuring outside on Friday with the beautiful weather! 


 

 

 


Literacy

This week in our UFLI program we continued learning about r-controlled vowels. We learned about the "or" sound and the "er" sound. 




Students have been working on turning their Planet Projects into a writing piece. We're using the writers workshop process and began revising and editing our writing on Friday. Next week we will be working on our good copies! 

Here are the words for next week: 


Science & Social Studies

We are wrapping up our Planet Project as well as our learning about Meteghan. Students had fun doing some lighthouse artwork that was on display during the volunteer tea! Next week will be our last week working with Ms. Davies and we are excited to see all of the classes' artwork come together to represent the three communities in Canada we are studying! 

Health & Wellness

This week we discussed mental health and celebrated Hats on for Mental Health Day. 





We've also been enjoying Sound Kreations dance! It has been so fun to watch the kids dance and I am so proud of everyone for participating and giving it their all! Definitely a proud teacher moment!

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...
