Hello Grade One Families!

It was great to connect with most of you by phone and hear that you are managing
during this difficult time.

Welcome to our first blog post that outlines online learning and activities for the
grade one students. We invite you to use the information that we will be posting
to guide your child’s learning. We understand that there are many unique factors
to balance these days, so please feel free to adapt, change or modify these
suggestions for your child. Please remember that current online learning
requirements as outlined by Alberta Education stipulate that children should be
engaged in one hour of work per day, or five hours per week. 

Thursday:

Word Work: Here are the sight word lists that the students have been using
during Literacy time at school. Students are working at varying levels.
By Monday, we will provide links to individual word lists and flashcards as
well as ideas that can be used at home to practice these words. In the
meantime, if you would like, you could do an initial assessment of your
child’s sight word recognition reading skills by having them read as many
words as possible from these lists. 



Poetry:

Please read the poem and draw a picture that matches the words. You can print
this page or use a blank piece of paper.


Math Game:

Tens Go Fish
1.   Each player is dealt 5 cards.
2.   Each player looks for pairs from his or her cards that make 10. Players put
down the pairs of cards that make 10, and they draw new cards to replace them.
3.   Players take turns asking each other for a card that will make 10 with a card in
their own hands.
4.   Continue until all the cards are gone.
5.   The player with the most 10’s is the winner.

Spring Song:
Here is a new spring song for you to learn.

Friday:

Reading:
Please ensure that you are able to get logged into Raz-Kids and spend 15-20
minutes exploring books.  

Math Task:
How many ways can you represent the number 12? Use numbers, pictures
and words to represent your understanding in as many ways as possible.
For example:
6+6=12
15-3=12
2 bees have 12 legs

Yoga:

Have a safe weekend! “See” you on Monday!
