 Reminders

Feb. 5th:  Report Cards will be online * Report cards will not be sent home this year due to COIVD, but you will be able to access them on Feb. 5th through Powerschool.  Please make sure you have your Powerschool account set up so that you can view your child's report card online.  If you have not yet set up your My Powerschool Account, please call Ms. Boyce in the office and she will help you get it set up. 

Feb. 11-13:  Teachers' Convention ~ NO SCHOOL

Feb. 16th:  Family Day ~ NO SCHOOL

Remember to dress for the weather.  We go outside every day for recess, lunch recess and gym.

This deadline for bringing a classroom valentine has been extended until Monday, February 8th.  If your child would still like to make one for the class they are more than welcome to bring it in on Monday.  On Wednesday they will have the chance to read their card to the class and we will put them on display for the month.

This week in ELA we finished writing our good copies of our personal stories. Students visited the Publisher's Corner, a bulletin board in the main hallway, where students work can be put on display for the whole school to see. They were really excited and worked hard so that they might have the chance to have their work on display. 1-2 students will have the opportunity to have their work on the wall this month, and we will continue to provide opportunities for them to have other work displayed on the wall.

This week in Math we reviewed different strategies that we can use to help us add or subtract more than 2 numbers. We practiced finding numbers that made 10, finding doubles, and near doubles. Then we applied these strategies to various math problems.

In Science we began looking at vocabulary words we would be using while learning about changes in winter and also liquids.  The children did a matching game where they had to match a picture to the word.  You can find in on my Google Classroom in the February Work section. 

In Social Studies we are learning about the word, "perspective."  To introduce this concept we read the, "Three Little Pigs," and "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs." These stories helped them understand that every story has more than one side to it. We were able to make a Venn diagram to compare what parts of the stories were the same and which were different.  Here are the links to the stories we read if you would like to review them at home.

 It's finally June.  In a few weeks, we will have a 2 month vacation! We have had a busy week this week. In ELA we have been working on writing about, "What would I do if I could stay up all night?" We practiced adding lots of details to our sentences.  Students have continues to practice doing our "Find it & Fix it" strategy for editing.   In Math we have reviewing measuring, specifically mass and calendar.  Students have engaged in centres and problem solving tasks about calendar and mass.  For our inquiry project we have been finishing our comic strip about the animal and its community. Students included how we can learn from the animals and care for the land. We shared how we can help the animals so that they can be around for a long time.  We also watch a series of videos about the Seven Sacred Laws. A Indigenous series about how we are all connected and need to respect the land and others. There are a total of 8 videos. I will include the link to the f

   Reminders: September 24th and 25th are Parent Teacher Conferences .  They will be virtual conferences.  Please follow the link sent to you from the office to sign up.  Sign up closes on Monday the 21st at noon.  If you need help, please contact the office or myself (hlandrews@cbe.ab.ca) and we can help you book a conference.  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. Here are some notable activities from the week: 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; a, c, d, f, and g.  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 pr
