Hello! It's been a cold one! Thanks to everyone who braved the cold this week. Here's a peek at what we've been up to!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week we learned about Friendly Letters. Students watched a video talking about the parts of a friendly letter and then got to work writing a letter to their Gr. 5/6 Buddies! Students also had to be sure to remember to use capital letters, leave spaces and include a period in all their sentences.
In math, students in Gr. 1 have been learning about Doubles facts. They played a game in which they had to use their doubles facts, drew pictures of the doubles and completed a fun colouring sheet using doubles. The Gr. 2's began learning about adding two-digit numbers both with and without regrouping.
In Social, the students in Gr. 1 continued to learn about a community in the past. The also started to learn about the different groups of people that helped to settle this area. They learned a little about the NWMP-- what it was like to be a NWMP and why they were sent out to the prairies.
The Gr. 2's began learning about the northern community of Nunavut. They watched a video and started colouring the flag of Nunavut.
In Science, students in Gr. 1 completed their signs of winter activity in which they had to sort pictures of into the correct category-- i.e. people, plants, weather or animals. The Gr. 2s started learning about the continents and oceans and completed some maps to show their learning.
In gym we have playing various games with the parachute. The students have had fun learning to use the parachute together to perform certain tasks, creating a large mushroom to sit under, running underneath etc.
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!
