May 31 - June 4

 Hello Families, 

Wow! We can’t believe it’s already June. Here is some of our learning from this week: 


Literacy: We are continuing to implement the skills of good writers to be ready for Grade 2. These include periods at the ends of our sentences, capital letters for names and at the start of sentences, referencing our word walls and personal dictionaries, sounding out words and adding juicy describing words.  


Math: We are challenging our math brains this week! We are adding and subtracting with bigger and bigger numbers. We are using rods and cubes and hundreds charts to try adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers like 34 – 12 and 47 – 15. We are so ready for Grade 2 math! 


Science: We have finished researching our plants and have shared what we have learned by turning our jot notes into complete sentences and creating a poster to represent our learning. We are also so excited to be germinating seeds within our classrooms. Ask me what seeds we are germinating. We have observed some very cool things happening to our seeds and have noticed changes happening daily! 


Social Studies: We continue to practice point of view by filling in talking and thinking bubbles around the fur trade. 

 

Reminders: 

  • If weather permits, please expect your child to be eating lunch outdoors for  the remainder of the school year.  
  • CNGReads is every Wednesday at 7 pm. Tune in for some great stories 😊  
  • Please continue to send the Tuesday folder and home reading with your child each and every Tuesday.

  The Grade   1’s   have   had another great   and busy   week of learning!   Here are some of the learning opportunities that our students participated in this week:   In math, we   began practicing our basic math facts to 5. W e continued to explore   and create   patterns . Students have also continued their   work in   representing a number in many ways   by creating flipbooks for numbers to ten.      In literacy,   we have been learning and practicing different ways to read a book   (we can look at the pictures, read the words, go on a word/letter hunt and retell the story).   Students have also worked hard on writing sentences. We know that a sentence starts with a capital letter, has finger spaces between words and ends with a period. Our next step s   are   to work towards a dding detail to our writing and   trying to   sound out   new   words   independently .    As a school, we honored and celebrated Terry Fox by walking and running   in his memory .   Grade 1’s did an incred

 Hello Guardians, Happy Thanksgiving to you all. We hope that you can get plenty of rest and relaxation this long weekend.      As for this week, we have had a quiz on patterns and looked at how we can create, extend, name, and translate patterns as well as find the core of a pattern. Children have really enjoyed playing with and creating patterns using blocks, shapes, body actions, numbers, and letters.   We have been working on reading and writing with different words. As always, we work on starting sentences with capital letters and adding periods at the end.      We also have explored what it means to belong to different types of communities. We belong to our class, school, neighbourhood, family, city and country. We might also belong to a club, team, religion or cultural community as well. Children went on a Huntington Hills community walk and we observed different things in our community including Thorncliffe Pool, a fire hall, a grocery store, a playground, and so on. We will co

Hello Families,     We had another great week of learning in Grade 1!     Literacy:  Grade 1’s continued to work as authors this week.  We  published  our stories by making good  copies of our work.   We looked at different books and noticed that to be successful they had a title, interesting covers, words and pictures.  We worked hard to make our covers look  appealing  so someone would want to pick up our story and read it!
