Happy December

Happy December! We have a short and busy month ahead of us with lots of fun celebrations, learning, singing and excitement.

Our new sight words this week are:

came
be
out
white
brown

Our new poem is:


This week we will be spending time in another grade 1 class with another grade one teacher each day! Each teacher has a special activity planned. Ask me to tell you which teacher I worked with today and what I did with them.

We continue to work on problem solving in math. We are learning to break apart numbers 1-20. Today we looked at a math problem with 12 monkeys. When it rained, some of them went up into a small tree and some went to the big tree. How many combinations could there be. We have been working hard on learning the "partners of 10" these past few weeks. I should have a solid understanding of the many different ways to make 10 using two numbers. Please practice this with me at home. You can say "5 and __???__ make 10?" and ask me to fill in the blank.

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!

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.
