Colour Unit

 This week we began our colour unit and created beautiful colour wheels. We are excited to begin mixing paint to see what colours we can create.

Watch for a letter to come home next week with information about our home reading program. There is a permission letter that will need to be signed so that books can start to come home.

In gym we started our gymnastics unit and the students are having lots of fun learning different ways to move, jump, roll and balance. We put on mini presentations demonstrating what we have learned.

Google Classroom

 If you have not signed your child into our Google Classroom, please do so.  If you need your child's Gmail address and password, please email me. 

I will be sending out emails to each family to remind everyone just in case we all need to go on line as a class. 

Please remember to send a mask with your child each day. Many are coming without masks.

Thanks for your attention to this!

Welcome Back

 January 10, 2022

Welcome back to school! It was so amazing to see everyone's faces!

We are continuing to work on alphabet awareness, printing and letter sound in the Month of January. Our goal is to have everyone be able to Match all upper and lowercase letters and be able to write the letter without having to sing the alphabet song to figure out which is which. v

We are beginning to work on understanding what a vowel is and will focus on the vowels 'a' and 'i'. Building and reading words that are three letters is a skill towards decoding and writing more words. E. cat, jam, sit, lit etc.

We are working hard to understand the concept of rhyming. While reading the Snowmen at night series the students are listening for rhyming words. This understanding of Rhyming will help with our ability to build word families. This weeks word family was "it". (sit, lit, hit, fit, pit, bit).

This weeks, word work words are: 

-he,

me, 

am, 

going, 

with

Next week we will begin writing sentences with all the words! Woo hoo!

Our class is super lucky to be working with four different teachers! The grade one group is being pulled out for extra letter building skill with Mrs. Linda Trask.  The grade twos are being pulled to do extra targeted reading support with Mrs. Pokalinski and in the afternoon, numeracy building with Ms. B.

We are seeing growth in your little learners.
