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!"
