Welcome Grade 1s!

I am so excited to welcome you all to our grade one class this year! The students had a jam packed day learning many of our new routines. We will continue to get to know our new friends and routines throughout the week!

To get up-to-date blog posts, please follow by email in the space at the bottom right of the blog.

We do have desks this year, so students may bring in a pencil case if they'd like, however, we do have all the materials students will need for the classroom available to them. If pencil cases are brought in, please try and label as much as possible so things do not get lost.

Lastly, any donations of Kleenex and large ziplock baggies would be greatly appreciated!

We are looking forward to a great year!

Language

In reading, we will be focusing on determining important ideas by retelling ideas in a fiction texts. We continue to use our GO Map to recall the important details we need.

In writing, we are transferring our understanding of fiction texts by becoming author's of our own narrative stories. Students are brainstorming with the help of the GO Map and are writing stories with a clear beginning, middle and end.

Students did an outstanding job with their oral presentations. They used the different techniques practised in class to share their book report.

Math

We have started working on Probability. We are learning about the chances of everyday things happening using our math words (certain, likely, unlikely, impossible and always, sometimes, never). We are also making predictions and completing probability experiments to determine the likelihood of different results (ex. spinner games, rolling dice, flipping cups).

How you can help at home:

- practise counting by 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s to 100

- locate different numbers on the 100s chart

- talk about the likelihood of events

- look for and name 3D solids around you
