Hello! Happy last Friday of the year! Here's what we've been up to!

---------------------------------------------------------------

In math, students began some 2D & 3D stations practicing their skills at sorting, identifying and building with shapes.


 

Sorting shapes by various attributes.



 


Tangram Puzzles & Sorting Shapes




In science, we finished our research on coyotes and began working on the good copy of our coyote report.





In ELAL we continued to work on listening for sounds in words and building words using our moveable alphabet.




We went on a 3D shape hunt outside and played a fun game of camoflauge in the dip! Can you spot the children?

Hello Families! As this was a short week there is no blog post, but I did want to let you know that our Google Classroom is now available for students to access. Below are instructions for how to login the first time.  Please note that the use of activities in our Google Classroom is optional. These are not assigned, but are offered as optional activities that can support some of the learning we are doing in class. We will also be using the websites during class throughout the year at different times. From time-to-time I will post new activities connected to various areas of study. Most of the activities linked right now are to general websites that contain a variety of skills and concepts related to math and reading.  If you have trouble logging in or questions about the classroom, let me know. Thanks! Your child's email and password will hopefully be coming home today. If you do not get it today I will make sure it goes home on Monday. Mrs. V : )  ----------------------...

Hello Families! We have finished our first week of school. Take a look below for a sneak peek at what we've been up to : )  ----------------- This week we have spent time getting to know each other and becoming familiar with the routines of the classroom. The students have adjusted well to full days and are really enjoying participating in morning and lunch recess! We have also read a number of books about treating others the way we want to be treated and making good choices. We read "Office Buckle and Gloria" and "Do Unto Otters" to learn about the importance of rules, safety and kindness. Students sorted various actions into good choices and poor choices and pasted them into a chart.    We also began reading books by Dr. Suess and discussing rhyme. The students listened for rhyming words in stories, played a variety of rhyming games and completed some rhyming sheets.       In math we have been working on reviewing numbers to 10 and 20 and also talking abo...

Hello and Happy Friday : )  I hope you had a lovely week. Here is what we have been up to! -------------------------------------- In reading we have been focusing on long vowels and silent /e/. Students have continued to build words that contain the long e sound looking or the vcv (vowel consonant vowel) pattern in words (e.g. ike, ane, ube etc.) to determine if the vowel makes a long or short sound. Students completed a number of word ladders for words that contain this pattern, In math students explored using a number line to count back to subtract and played a fun math game that helped them practice this skill.  In science students began learning about energy. They discussed what energy is and how energy is expressed through movement. Students discovered that movement includes speed, direction, pathways and levels (i.e. high, medium, low).  In social they have been learning about some of the first people to settle in what is today Calgary. They examined the lives and c...
