What do animals do in the fall?

Our new sight words this week are:

where
make
said
go
not

Our new poem this week is called "Flutter Flutter Little Bat" and goes to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"


We have been great word detectives and looking for sight words we know. Next week we will have been introduced to all of the sight words on the pre-primer sight word list. Please review these with me at home. We will be sending home a second list at the end of November. I should know all of the sight words on the first list by the end of November.

Today we talked about "What animals do in the fall?" We learned a new science word called Migration. Ask me to tell you what that means. Which animals migrate and why. We learned that lots of animals migrate for many different reasons such as: to go to a warmer place, have their babies, and look for food.

In art, we used "cool" colors today and learned about tinting by adding black and white to make different shades. This will be our backdrop for our Canada Geese art that we will do this week.

Our poem says "I think I can"! This is a positive mindset that we are trying learn to say to ourselves even when things are hard. 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! Some of us drew about learning how to ride a bike, swim, skate, climb monkey bars, and play hockey. REMINDERS: We seem to have a fruit fly problem ...

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.
