Hello families, 

My apologies again about not making a blog post last week! Here's what we got up to this week: 

We enjoyed spending lots of time with Elder Shirley on Wednesday morning. She walked students through a smudge and talked about some of the sacred medicines. She taught us how to hoop dance and how we can tell a story using our bodies and the hoops. We also enjoyed spending time outside with the hoops and some stuffed animal friends. We performed some hoop dancing for Ms. Zimmer's class and then enjoyed watching Elder Shirley perform some hoop dancing. We also met her mischievous bear friend, Lemon! 

 

 


 

 

We're continuing to learn about the Indigenous Seven Sacred Teachings. This week we learned about the teaching of honesty which is represented by the Sabe. Students wrote about a time when they showed honesty. We also read a story called Finn's Little Fibs by Tom Percival and students used loose parts to create a time when they fibbed. 








In math we've been working on fractions! In grade 1, students only need to understand halves, and in grade 2 students need to understand and compare fractions with denominators to 10.  Students enjoyed using the Fraction Skittles and Fraction Tower materials. 

Grade 1

Grade 2

In literacy, we've been learning about alliteration. Students designed their own ice cream flavours and gave them names using alliteration. I don't have any photos but the word was sent home on Friday! We've also been learning about the sounds that y can make at the end of a word! We also did some writing for Parents Day! 

In wellness we're continuing to learn about healthy eating! This week we learned about the food groups and students worked in their table groups to sort foods based on their food group.

Our first two days of school in room 11 were great! We enjoyed reading some stories together, getting to know each other and our classroom space, and students enjoyed exploring different work choices together in the classroom. We've also already celebrated two birthdays in the classroom! We had gym outside on Thursday and Friday and are looking forward to joining Ms. Zimmer's class for gym next week!    We talked a lot about different expectations at school and why it's important to follow the classroom expectations. I always use my cat, Eli, to show listening expectations on the carpet.  A notice from School Council came home today!

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...
