*Please note that the*
WINTER/SOLSTICE CONCERT
date has been changed from
Dec. 7th to Dec. 19th.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In math we have begun learning about addition. Students have learned to use ten frames and number paths to help them complete addition problems accurately.
In writing, we read the story "The Mitten" by Jan Brett. We reviewed the parts of a story and various story elements. Then did both an oral and written retelling of the story. Students continue to work on remembering what we need to include in a sentence and to add interesting details to their sentences to make them more exciting.
We have also been reading other stories by Jan Brett and identifying the characters, setting, problem and solution for each as we continue to learn about story structure and story elements.
In science students tested materials to see how physical changes such as bending, twisting, cutting, breaking etc. would-- or would not-- affect them. They learned that physical changes can affect how they look but not change what they are. For example, playdoh can be bent, stretched, cut, twisted and more but it is still playdoh.
In gym, we have been learning to use scoops and balls. Students have been developing their hand-eye coordination to toss, catch and pass the ball on their own and with a partner.
Important Information & Reminders:
- Library Day is on Wednesday. If your child misses a Library Day we will try to send them on a different day, however, it will not always be possible to do so. Most times they can simply wait for the following Library Day.
- Google Classroom - Our Google Classroom is up and running. Students can log in at school and at home and click on the various links to practice typing, math skills, reading and even do an art activity (Art Hub) or some exercise (Cosmic Yoga). Your child can go to: classroom.google.com, click on the waffle (nine dots in upper righthand corner of screen), select the Google Classroom icon and log in from there. They have already logged in at school so they will just need to put in their student email address (available in PowerSchool/My CBE Account) and their password (eg. 12345678). It's that simple. If you require assistance logging in the first time, please let me know.
- RAZ-Kids - students brought home a sheet with information explaining how to access their online RAZ-Kids account. This is a levelled reading program that students can use to practice reading at home with their parents. Once logged in students can listen to the story, practice reading the story (with adult support if needed) and then take a short quiz to assess their comprehension of what they have read. This is a wonderful compliment to our Home Reading program. If you did not receive your child's login information please email me. Thanks and happy reading!
