Reminders:
- LIbrary Books: If your child has library books at home from last year, please send them in as we would love to have them back on our bookshelves and in our classrooms.
- September 28th: Terry Fox Run during gym
- September 30th: Orange Shirt Day - wear an orange shirt or something orange to honour those who were in residential schools and to affirm that every child matters
- October 1st is our first Spirit Day. The students have chosen Pajama Day. Students may wear a clean pair of pjs, but we ask that stuffies and toys stay at home.
- During Language Arts, we are reviewing the graphemes (letters with their sounds). This is a good review for all students as they it helps them be more aware of letter sounds when they are reading and writing. This week we reviewed the letters; o, s, qu and b. Along with reviewing the letter names and sounds, we are also learning/reviewing how to print the letters properly so that their printing becomes more efficient. Remember, we always start printing a letter from the top. Here are a few fun videos we watched to review letters sounds and printing. Please review these letters and sounds if your child is still learning their letters and sounds. The last video on the list is has actions to go with the graphemes, which we review every day and just add one more letter each day.
- In Math we have been using patterns to solve problems. One question was how many different cores of a pattern can you make using a hexagon, trapezoid, and 2 rhombuses? The other problem we explored was how big would the caterpillar be when he was 10 years old, if he was 3 circles long at 1, 4 circles long at 2 and 5 circles long at 3 years old? We learned how to make and use a T-chart to solve the problem
A need is something that keeps us safe and protected.
A want is something that is helpful, fun, or nice to have.
I need a drink. I want hot chocolate!
I need food to eat. I want a lollipop!
I need shelter. I want a fancy house!
I like to play with toys. I want a doll!
I want to play video games.
I want a friend to play with. I want a sister.
We only need a few things to live, but we want a lot of things because it is fun!
- Practice logging into Google Classroom and complete the questionnaire.
- Practicing making growing patterns with items at home.
