Read!

Today we launched our read-a-thon with an assembly where Mrs. Swain read Copperfield School a book called "All Are Welcome". It reminded us of our school because all are welcome at Copperfield School too!
Today was dress up like a teacher day. We will have guest readers, and fun dress up days over the next two weeks for our read-a-thon. 
  • Friday March 6 is PJ day.
  • Friday March 13 is dress up as a book character day.
Gymnastics
We started gymnastics today! This unit will last until Spring Break. Today we practiced two different types of rolls. Ask me to show you how we do it! Here is a list of suggestions our school has sent our regarding gymnastics: 
  • Clothing that allows freedom of movement (no special uniforms or outfits are required-sweats and a t-shirt work best. 
  • Loose fitting/baggy clothing may get caught on equipment when climbing. 
  • Tucking shirts in may help to prevent an accident. 
  • All jewelry that could get caught on equipment should be removed (left in classrooms or left at home). E.g. watches, rings, necklaces, etc… 
  • Students with long hair should have their hair tied back. Tying hair back is recommended. 
  • Students may wear shorts under clothing if they wish. 
  • Students continue to wear indoor running shoes (first preference) 
  • Students may also participate in bare feet or with gymnastic slippers. 
  • Students must land on their feet or seat on the crash mat. 
  • Although some students have private gymnastics training, there will be no aerial stunts such as dive rolls, aerial somersaults (flips), head springs or hand springs as these activities do not fit into the gymnastics curriculum.
Here is our poem of the week:

We know that "ee" are screaming Es and they make the sound "eeeeeeee". Today we looked for all of the "ea" sounds in the poem. They make the same sound that screaming Es make. We also worked on reading the poem and drawing pictures beside the sentences. Picture clues will help us re-read the poem on our own.

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! We hope to see you there and remember to wear your PINK Shirt that day! This week our poem is about kindness. Ask me to find some sight words I know in the poem.  We are learning about how we are part of a family, a school a community and the world! We looked at Google Earth today. You can check it out at googleearth.com. We travelled to Mrs. Ly’s house today and even to Paul’s pizza (one of our students family owns this restaurant). Today they ...

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.
