Kindness in Grade one Continues!

Yesterday we started our day with students sharing with a peer what they did over the long weekend. Students wrote about their weekend with the following sentence starters:

On the weekend I _____.
I went ______.
I saw ______.
I liked _____.


This week we are focusing on the _ink family. Students brainstormed words yesterday and today students recorded words in their Word Work book.

We started to gather words for a KINDNESS Acrostic poem. Students came up with such words as:

K kind,
I I message
N Nice,
D doing
N nature
E everyone
S smile
S sharing.

Students have been learning and practicing new card games to practice making 10. Ask your child to share the 2 games with you they have been playing individually or with a peer.

We have also started our exploration into how animals survive in the winter. Students shared an "I wonder.." statement about animals in winter and today we explored and learned about how some animals survive the winter.

Students exchanged their learning commons books yesterday or today if they returned their books.

In gym, students are learning some basic hockey skills.

In music, students are learning songs about friendship.

Please drop by the school office with picture ID to complete this application. If you already have clearance and would like to volunteer, please let you child’s teacher know.

Please note the following dates. Times have yet to be confirmed.
