Grade 1 Assembly

We had our Grade 1 assembly today! Thank you to all of the family members that were able to come watch us perform. We were very proud of how we sang to share our learning about the three pillars of care. We hope you enjoyed it :)

This week we practiced going onto Raz Kids on the iPads. Thank you for sending in labeled headphones in a ziplock bag if you are able to. I can show you how I log in Raz Kids at home. Log in information was sent home last week.

We continue to practice our reading stamina. We learned that our reading stamina are our reading muscles. As a class, we are able to read for 8 minutes fully focused on our book. Please continue to read to me everyday and have me read my home reading book with you daily. We are working on "read to self" and "read to someone". Here are some examples of what good readers do and what it looks like:







We had so much fun going to a different park today with our buddies. Ask me to tell you waht kind of games I played on the playground with my big buddy.



Have a wonderful weekend!

We listened to a story called "How to catch a star" which is about a boy who loved stars and wished he could catch his own. We counted that he tried at least 5 different ways to catch a star and did not give up until one of his ways worked! We brained stormed what perseverance is and made a list. Then, we drew pictures of a time that we thought something was hard but had to persevere to accomplish it. We drew before and after pictures of what it looks and feels like to persevere!
