What does peace feel like?

**There is no school on Monday November 11

**Book Orders were sent home today. They are due on Friday November 15

Our poem this week was all about poppies. We learned a lot about Remembrance Day and why we honor this very special occasion. This week, some of us attended our very first Remembrance Day Assembly. Ask me to tell you about it. 

We have been talking about what peace is: what it sounds like, tastes like, feels like, smells like and what it looks like. We made poppies using potatoes! Ask me to tell you how I created my poppies. I cannot wait to share these with you as well as my writing at Parent Teacher Conferences in a couple of weeks.



In Science, we continue to take a closer look at animal behvaiors and what they do in the fall. We learned a big science word "adaptation" and "camouflage". Ask me to tell you what this means and how snowshoe hares adapt to the changing seasons. We did some art to represent our learning.







This week was Cade's 7th birthday and Mrs. Ly delievered our special cards to him at his birthday party. We were very excited to see his photos and that we were able to connect to Cade this way and make him feel extra special on his birthday. His most recent card number update is 930 cards! Wow!


Have a great long weekend everyone!

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 ...
