Library Books

Students attended our last library of the year today. They should have come home with two books. One is our usual library check out that needs to be returned on Tuesday. The other is a book from Ms. Doro that she gifted to each student. It is a book for them to keep and enjoy at home.

Play Practice

The grade ones have brought home their drama scripts. Please take the next few days to practise reading. We are working on learning words and deciding on how our animals should sound when they speak. We will start working on our play as a class on Monday.

Thanks for your support!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the wonderful baby shower yesterday. I am so lucky to have such an amazing class and parents!

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
