Hi Grade 1!

Hi Grade 1! We hope everyone had a restful Spring Break and are ready to come on a new adventure of online learning with us! This is new for Mrs. Ly and Ms. Granger too, so we can all learn together!

We will still be updating our blog as we transition to "Google Classroom". Thank you for being patient and understanding as all of this new information rolls out...we will keep updating you all with new information we learn! Just a reminder to continue to check your email as lots of information is being sent from Copperfield School, the CBE, and ourselves. 

We wish we could read a story to you all together, but for now please enjoy this video of us reading to you online :)


Here are all of the sight word lists that we have been working on throughout grade 1, in order. The last one "First Grade" is the new list that we would have given out at student led conferences:




Here are some things that your friends have been up to:
"We played Jenga – we tried to build a structurally sound structure. We noticed that we had to be careful of what blocks we took away because it might be a weight bearing piece and then the building would become weakened."

"We coloured a lot of pictures – we told each other that we were all doing a good job no matter what the picture looked like. We talked about uniqueness’ "
We painted – we practiced mixing colours to make other colors/shades

"We walked our dogs
A saw this as exercise and getting to leave the house
We talked about how long some dog’s legs are, how short other dogs’ legs are. We noticed that little dogs must work a lot harder to keep up!"




Here are some links to songs we love to sing in class. Some are math songs, skip counting, and letter songs. Enjoy!

Count By Tens Song
Doubles Song
The Big Numbers Song

Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!

We had a very exciting day full of surprises! This morning as we were learning our new poem about the gingerbread man, we discovered that our gingerbread people we made on Friday ran away!! They left us a note, and we went on a gingerbread man hunt around the school! Ask me where we had to look and where we finally found them! This afternoon we went up on stage and practiced our song for our concert this week! We are so excited to show you our Sugar Plum dance. This afternoon a package came for us! It was freezing cold and had snow on it! It came all the way from the North Pole! We opened it up and it was an Elf! We will learn what our Elf's name is tomorrow! Here is our new poem of the week and our new sight words: ran, ate, eat, he, no

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 ...
