Hello families and friends,
We have been continuing to work on our literacy skills in the mornings. We wrote about our weekends and had author's chair, practicing giving feedback by giving one compliment, one critique, and asking one question about their writing. This morning we also continued work on our partner stories. These are coming along really well and some are close to finishing theirs up. Our words of the week for this week are "like", "live", "take", and "ride" for grade ones, and "have", "give", "where", and "does" for grade twos. We also worked on the /sh/ and /zh/ sounds. In the comments below, post a sentence that includes each of these two sounds. In math, we continued our work on place value with the base ten blocks. Then we learned a new version of a game, double-digit face-off. Today we practiced our addition and subtraction skills. The students were allowed to use a number line and/or hundred chart to help them with this. We also continued our research into leopard geckos. In gym, we started working on skipping skills.
Tomorrow, we will be starting the Reading...Give it a Shot program, in partnership with the Calgary Flames. Each student will get a tracking sheet that will go home with them. Each day, please record on the calendar how many minutes that your child reads at home. After 100 minutes of combined reading, they will earn a Calgary Flames hockey card! There are 24 cards in all to collect.
Tomorrow is also Winter Walk Day. In the afternoon, the whole school will be taking time to walk down to the windmill and back. Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for the cold weather!
As snow is no longer in the forecast for this week, we will be continuing to collect materials for building our insulators for our experiment. If you have any spare materials that you can donate (e.g. cardboard, cloth/fabrics, feathers, etc.) they would be much appreciated.
Thanks and have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
