100 DAYS OF SCHOOL!

Hello grade one families,

Today we celebrated 100 days of grade one!!! We explored 100s charts. We counted by 10s to 100. We wrote about what it will be like when we are 100 years old... what we will look like, what we will eat, where we will live, and what we will do for fun! Some of our ideas were hilarious!!! We also practiced walking and talking like we were 100 years old. Some of us stayed in character all morning long:)

We are recording 100 acts of kindness within our grade 1 community! Ask me for some examples of kindness within our classroom.

This afternoon we worked on portraits of us at 100 years old. They are creative and adorable and we can't wait to show you the finished product.

We hope that you have a wonderful and relaxing Family Day long weekend. Thank you for all that you do to support your child's learning in grade one.

                 


Love the grade one team 💗

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 💚
