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!

Curriculum Term Letter

Each grade team has created a Curriculum Term Letter to communicate with families about the learning that their child will be doing from September to December. The term plan specifies curricular outcomes that the grade will be focusing their instruction and assessment around. It is our hope that this letter will begin to provide you with a clear picture of your child’s learning over the year. You can find your child’s Curriculum Term Letter on our school website under Classes & Departments and the Resources on the right hand side of the page.   For further information on the Alberta Program of Studies, please visit the Learn Alberta website: https://www.learnalberta.ca/content/mychildslearning/ Housekeeping: **Tomorrow (Wednesdays) is our library day.

The Pledge of Kindness

We have been introduced to all of the sight words on our second list! Please help me review these at home. I should know all of these sight words by Spring Break. At Student Led Conferences, we will be receiving our third and final sight word list of grade one. Here is the second list: The Grade 3 Students are going to be hosting the Pink Shirt Day Assembly! You are invited to join us   on February 26th at 2:00 pm   in the gym. We will be singing songs, reciting poetry and celebrating kindness! We hope to see you there and remember to wear your PINK Shirt that day! This week our poem is about kindness. Ask me to find some sight words I know in the poem.  We are learning about how we are part of a family, a school a community and the world! We looked at Google Earth today. You can check it out at googleearth.com. We travelled to Mrs. Ly’s house today and even to Paul’s pizza (one of our students family owns this restaurant). Today they ...
