It is the final week before the Winter Break. Wow! We have been counting the days and today is day 69. That means we have been in grade one for 69 days of learning, fun and growing.
This week, our new sight words are:
who
went
what
but
so
Our poem is:
Our teachers are very proud of us and all the work we have been doing around our reading skills. We have been really good sight word detectives and finding them hidden in other words.
Please click on the poem above and ask me to find the sight words this wee: but, so, went.
I am also using the strategy Eagle Eye (looking at pictures for clues) to decode words. Ask me to tell you which word says "Christmas Tree, Reindeer, Santa, Candy Cane."
We enjoyed some Festive Singing in the gym today and are working on a story map for the story "The Gingerbread Man". Today we learned what the word characters mean. There are 7 characters in the story we listened to today. Ask me to tell you who the characters are.
Housekeeping:
Hearts 4 the Homeless
We are in the last few days of hosting a "Hearts 4 the Homeless" campaign in support of the Mustard Seed because Copperfield has Heart. We are connecting with the Mustard Seed, who offer services that help people make positive and lasting change in their lives. During the holidays, they collect backpacks stuffed with useful items to distribute. For items to donate, and more information please click on this link.
Please have all items into the school in Wednesday December 18th in the morning so the classes can stuff the backpacks. Thanks for all the generous donations that have been sent in so far.
