Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!

Welcome back to grade one! It is hard to believe that we are no in our fifth month of school.

Highlights of Our Learning:

-Today the children had lots of time to "pair and share" and tell a partner about their holiday happenings. Then the students used the following sentence starters to write in their literacy books:
"On the winter break I...", "I saw..." and "I went...".

-We used two six-sided dice and learned a new math game called "Double Dicers" to help us practice creating and answering addition and subtraction equations. Please have your child tell you how this game is played.

- We went to music.

-We visited the Learning Commons to sign out new books.

-Students had a lovely time playing outside in the snow.

-We practiced reading a poem called "New Year" and highlighted a few sight words in it.

-How many words do you think you can find using the letters in the word SNOWFLAKES? We tried this today and found a lot! Some have two, three, four, five, six (and even more) letters.

F.Y.I.

-Today was the warmest day of the week, please make sure your child is dressed for the weather.  Many students did not have mitts, snow pants or a hat today.  We want to have fun outside and be dressed appropriately.

- Healthy Hunger special lunch is on Thursday January 23rd.  If you want to order, please do so before Friday, January 16th

- Oral Health for Kindergarten's/Grade 1's on January 13th-15th.

-Report cards come home on Friday.
