Hello families, 

Here's our weekly update! 

Gymnastics

We're going to be starting gymnastics next week! Please make sure your child: 

  • Has comfortable clothing
  • Has long hair tied back 
  • Has runners, bare feet or sticky socks! 


We've been working really hard to get ready for our assembly! We've also been working on some writing to accompany this work and it will also be shared for conferences. I'm still keeping that work on the down-low! 

Also in literacy, we've been learning about the "bossy r" and have learned the "ar" and "or" sounds. 



Here are the words for next week.. there will not be a quiz on these ones! 
In math we continued to work on number bonds and began learning about fact families. We also reviewed different ways to represent addition and worked on our fact fluency. 

Fact Family Example

In social studies we worked on our mapping skills! We learned about some of the different provinces and territories in Canada and students coloured a map of Canada! 


On Friday we had fun with our buddy class with a St. Patrick's Day activity! Students went on a coin hunt and learned about different states of matter. They also had fun making slime with their buddies! 

 

We also celebrated World Sleep Day! We learned more about the importance of sleep and what happens to our brains and bodies when we don't get enough sleep! Students drew what they look and feel like when they get a good sleep vs. when they get a bad sleep. 








If you want to practice our assembly song at home! 



Spring Scholastic flyers came home this week! There was also a book fair planned during conferences so students will have an opportunity to shop during the school day. More info to come!

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,  We had lots of fun this week and enjoyed lots of time celebrating the holiday season!  Students worked hard on their sleigh designs and had fun building out of recyclable materials. They were surprised when a bell was added to the mix and they had to muffle the sound of the bell! We had fun testing the sleighs outside to see if they were stable, could glide in the snow, and carry presents.        Students also completed a self-assessment! We also enjoyed some time with our buddies making some crafts and cards! I'm going to post photos but students may be keeping these a gift.. so apologies for the spoiler.  These are the grade 3/4 examples because I forgot to take photos!  We had fun on Grinch day reading stories and watched the original cartoon Grinch at the end of the day. We also enjoyed learning how to draw the Grinch!     On Wednesday we learned about snowflakes for our winter wonderland day! We read Little Snowflak...
