Grade 1 Blog

Hello Families!      Here is our last blog post for 2020.  We hope you have a wonderful and restful Winter Break. See you in 2021!     Literacy: Students continued to engage in a variety of writing and reading activities. We also practiced our  digital  literacy by spending more time on Google Classroom this week. Grade 1’s did a  great job   completing assignments online, turning them in and  reading on Raz Kids.     Math:  We developed our estimation skills more this week. We know that estimating is finding out how many without counting. It’s  like making a math guess! We also had fun exploring numbers to 100. Using a 100’s chart, we  had to find and  colour  certain numbers to create mystery art. It was math and art at the same time!      Science:  We wrapped up our Senses learning this week by designing, writing and sharing about our Senses Superheroes. Students did an amazing job creating unique superheroes.  We have also all  improved on  our  presenting  skills. Way to go  Grade

  Hello Families! Here is what  the Grade  1’s  have  been learning...   Literacy:  Students continue to develop their reading and writing skills in various activities.    Math:  Students sorted 2D shapes using  common  attributes. They realized that when w e sort shapes, we put all the shapes that follow a rule together in one group, and   we can put all the shapes that don’t follow that rule in another group !   Students challenged themselves to find out a sorting rule when given groups of shapes.         What was the sorting rule? Grade 1’s used their math brains to figure it out.   Science:  We have finished learning about each of the 5 senses and  are going to apply our understanding next week to create a... SENSES SUPERHERO. Stay tuned!  😊   Phys Ed:  Both cohorts started a  new  unit in  phys   ed  this week! Ms. Lang’s  class  began  f itness and Ms. Magill ’s class began soccer.   As a school, we watched our Winter Concert! Each class did an amazing job and we loved watching
