Playground update and new sight words

***Playground

We are so excited that we have the playground open and ready for us to enjoy. With a new playground come some changes to support entry and exit into the school. To help support the space around the playground and keeping everyone safe at Copperfield School, we are putting a schedule in place for the mornings before school.  This will help ease congestion and supervision of the students on the playground.

Playground Schedule (8:10am-8:25am)
K- Friday
1- Thursday
2- Wednesday
3- Tuesday
4- Monday

We appreciate your support in helping us communicate and employ this schedule with your students.

In addition, in order to ensure the safety of students, there are some entry and exit door changes for certain classes. As of Tuesday, September 17, 2019 the following will be in place. Teachers will be reviewing this change with you children today so they are also aware of their new door.

Door F (Green)- Kindergarten (Grant, Montgomery, Norrie, Handelsman)
Door E (Orange)- Ly, Granger, Bredahl, Thouin, Depner
Door B (Yellow)- Molsberry, Reilly, Soulliere, Dunlop

We thank you in advance for your flexibility as our student population continues to grow.***



This week our new sight words are: and, blue, you, a, can

Please help me review these words at home, and our 5 sight words from last week! 
Today we read a new poem called "I can be a pal". We talked about the second pillar of care, "taking care of others". We brained stormed different ways that we can care for others. Ask me what some ways are! 

Today we went "book shopping" around the classroom and looked for a book that was a "good fit" for us. This means that we should be interested in the book we are reading. Even if we can't read all of the words yet, we can use the pictures to help us read the book. 
In math we represented the number 10. We represented it using the numeral, word, ten frame, tally marks, and pictures. In Grade 1 we are learning numbers to 20 and even beyond! 

  • Thank you to those who have already sent in an artifact or photo for our alphabet. Please send that in when you can! 
  • Students will also need to bring in a flat rock that is about the size of an adults hand. Please send this in by this Thursday. 
  • Scholastic Orders are due tomorrow, September 17th!

We had a very exciting day full of surprises! This morning as we were learning our new poem about the gingerbread man, we discovered that our gingerbread people we made on Friday ran away!! They left us a note, and we went on a gingerbread man hunt around the school! Ask me where we had to look and where we finally found them! This afternoon we went up on stage and practiced our song for our concert this week! We are so excited to show you our Sugar Plum dance. This afternoon a package came for us! It was freezing cold and had snow on it! It came all the way from the North Pole! We opened it up and it was an Elf! We will learn what our Elf's name is tomorrow! Here is our new poem of the week and our new sight words: ran, ate, eat, he, no

It is the final week before the Winter Break. Wow! We have been counting the days and today is day 69. That means we have been in grade one for 69 days of learning, fun and growing.  This week, our new sight words are: who went what  but  so Our poem is: Our teachers are very proud of us and all the work we have been doing around our reading skills. We have been really good sight word detectives and finding them hidden in other words.  Please click on the poem above and ask me to find the sight words this wee: but, so, went. I am also using the strategy Eagle Eye (looking at pictures for clues) to decode words. Ask me to tell you which word says "Christmas Tree, Reindeer, Santa, Candy Cane." We enjoyed some Festive Singing in the gym today and are working on a story map for the story "The Gingerbread Man". Today we learned what the word characters mean. There are 7 characters in the story we listened to today. Ask me to tell yo
