Good afternoon grade one families,

Ask your child which 2 literacy centres they went to this morning! Our grade ones have been doing an amazing job reading, writing and building words with letter tiles and cubes. 

In math, we continued to explore 100. We counted approximately 100 chips and then recorded how we counted them (by 1s, 2s, 5s, or 10s) in our visual journals.

We look forward to an amazing rest of the week!


If you are interested in ordering any books for the holidays, here is a digital scholastic flyer! There are lots of great books for good deals. Our class code is: RC500024

Good afternoon grade one families! We had an amazing day of learning. This morning we watched a short film of the beloved story The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. Afterwards we used loose parts to create scenes and characters and wrote sentences to describe our loose part art. The film was wonderful and our loose part creations were AWESOME! We are finished our Reader's Theatre and our puppets are proudly displayed in our windows. This year we made a fall tree at the Leighton Art Centre, a winter tree using cool coloured paint, a spring tree out of tissue paper and today we started our summer tree art using plasticine. They are inspired by Canadian Artist Barbara Reid. Love the grade one team

Hello grade one families, It was so wonderful to meet so many of you during conferences. Thank you for joining us to talk about your children and all of the learning and fun we have been experiencing together! Today we gathered as a school for an assembly to begin learning about National Truth and Reconciliation Week and Orange Shirt Day. We learned about the importance of Land Acknowledgement. Mr. Magowan shared his personal connection to the land where he grew up and told stories about how meaningful wind is to him. This week we will continue to learn about Indigenous history and ways through stories, videos and art.  We also read a book called "The Sharing Circle" by Theresa Larsen-Jonasson. We are going to have our own sharing circle tomorrow! During literacy, we brainstormed, drew and wrote words that start with the letter "P", using inventive kid spelling. Ask me which words I chose to use in my visual journal! In math, we learned all sorts of ways to represen

Hello grade one families! WOW- we cannot believe that this is our last full week in grade one! 😭 We are so excited to finish off our year with tonnes of fun and learning. We were blown away by the grade one summer tree art inspired by Canadian artist and illustrator Barbara Reid. Today we worked on words that end in -ed. Some words that end in -ed have a "d" sound at the end and some words have a "t" sound. For example, loved (d) and splashed (t)! We did such a great job reading several words and identifying the ending sound. In math, we have been measuring the distance between 2 different objects using string! So much fun. Today we did the big bad wolf blow test on our houses... ask me what we used to test them! Our houses were SO STURDY that none of them blew down! We added roofs and other details to our houses and created 3 little pigs and a wolf with plasticine. They were amazing. Have a wonderful night! Love the grade one team 💚
