Week of October 2nd to October 6th


FALL has officially arrived and we are happy to see it here in Grade 1. Our classroom is back to being a comfortable place to be.

REMINDERS:

THANKSGIVING MASS is on Wednesday, October 4th at 10:45. All are welcome.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 6th is a PD Day - no school for students. Enjoy your extra long Thanksgiving weekend!

TERRY FOX forms went home on Friday. Please sign, return and donate a toonie if you can. We need to have the forms signed so that students can participate.

We learned a new reading strategy last week: STRETCHY SNAKE. Ask your children how to stretch out an unknown word sound by sound!

We will be wrapping up our patterning this week and focusing on Geometry - 3D & 2D shapes for the next month. We will continue to work on Number Sense & Numeration daily - looking for patterns in the 100 chart, printing and recognizing our numerals and number words, counting by 1s and 10s to 50, and adding single digit numbers. 

Last week we tried our first whole group word problem. Ask your child about how they found out how many pockets we were all wearing on Friday!
