Mathletics and PJ Day

**Thursday December 19 is the last day of school before winter break. It is a FULL DAY from 8:25am-3:10pm. It is also PJ day! I can bring a stuffy too but my teachers said that I should be making a good choice because there is a chance that it could get lost or I forget it at school. Please have a conversation with me about this so that I am aware of the risk.

I have a small Mathletics login card in my backpack, please remind me to give it to you so it can be put in a safe place. I should be working on my math regularly. Right now, I can work on patterning and number sense. Please let me show you how this works. You can download the app and I can show you!

What an exciting week it has been. We have enjoyed working with Mrs. Bredahl's class on our story maps. We have been learning all about how stories work!

Ask me to tell you about what "setting" means. We have read the story of the Gingerbread many times to get all of the details in. Today we worked on the setting of our story.





Today we watched the dress rehearsal of the kindergarten winter concert. We had a discussion about how far we have come in grade 1 as we were remembering our performances in kindergarten. I am becoming more confident, growing as a learner and as a member of the classroom.

Our elf snowflake has been a great addition to our class! She is a kindness elf and has left us an elfcapade each day. It is a task that we must do to spread kindness. Today, she asked us to make special paper flowers. She also brought us a snowman today.

What is perseverance?

Here is our first 5 words from our new sight word list! This week's words are: do all under on at This is our poem of the week: This week we are talking all about perseverance. 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.
