Copperfield Grade One Bradshaw/Woolnough

Hello families, What a fun day in grade one! This morning we worked on our addition and subtraction using numbers up to 20 using our "making 10" strategy, ten frames, and number lines.  We are still working on our fluency and expression using our Reader's Theatre scripts. Today we practiced reading the play as a whole group. Ask me what part I am! We read a story called Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel. Afterwards we drew beautiful pictures of Frog and Toad and wrote poems using descriptive and sensory language! Have a wonderful evening! Love the grade one team 

Hello families, Today we practiced rehearsing our Three Little Pigs Reader's Theatre scripts. We are working hard on our fluency and expression! In math, we are still working on our doubles +1 as well as our "Making 10" addition strategy for solving equations. We were exploring a really fun online math resource that the students loved and asked us to include it on the blog so that they can show you how to use it to create and solve math problems ! https://www.coolmath4kids.com/manipulatives/ten-frame In science, we learned about the different purposes for building things: shelter, transportation, entertainment and comfort. We built different structures using classroom materials and identified what we built and what its purpose was. Yearbook Deadline is fast approaching for Yearbook sales.

Hello grade one families! We hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. We had a busy day doing word work, writing, exploring doubles+1 and finishing up our 5 Senses science centres.  Looking forward to another fun week of exploring and learning. Monday May 29th is a professional learning day and there will be no school for students. Love the grade one team

Today we had a Math Talk about Doubles. Knowing our doubles by heart is so helpful for figuring out more challenging math equations! We know that if we know our doubles we can easily figure out, for example, 5 + 6. We know that 5 + 5 = 10, so we can quickly add one more to figure out that the answer is 11! We were able to enjoy going outside today. We had a lovely picnic and played on the playground 😊 In science, we finished our 5 Senses centres. We loved exploring our senses with hands on activities and experiments. Have a wonderful long weekend!  Love the grade one team

Hello grade one families, Today we started an exciting literacy project! We are doing Reader's Theatre of The Three Little Pigs. Today we received our scripts and in our small groups we decided who was going to read which lines. Ask me which role I played today. It was so much fun practicing our reading skills and using our imaginations and creativity while saying our lines.  In math, we are still working on learning and remembering our doubles addition. To go along with our urban art scenes, we have been creating rural art to show the differences between urban and rural areas. They are looking beautiful! This afternoon we read Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems. We are answering a lot of questions and making connections to our read-a-louds to show our understanding of stories. Ask me how Trixie was feeling when she realized that she left her stuffed bunny at the laundromat and how she was able to communicate her feelings. Have a wonderful night! Love the grade one team

Hello families! Today we listened to The Three Little Pigs and talked about the characters, the setting, the beginning, the middle and the end. We drew pictures and wrote sentences or key words to describe our pictures. We are having so much fun continuing to explore doubles. Ask me which doubles equations I know by heart now. In science, we are still working through our senses centres. Ask me which ones I have enjoyed the most! Have a wonderful night! Love the grade one team

Good afternoon grade one families! Today we explored doubles addition ( 1+1=2,  2+2=4,  3+3=6, 4+4=8  etc.) We are working on our mental math skills as well as trying to improve our speed and accuracy. In literacy, we did word work and tried to figure out how many words we could spell using the letters: a c c h r s t Ask me how many words I was able to spell and some strategies I used to help myself. We are learning about the differences between rural and urban communities. We made lists of some of the things we might find in rural areas compared to urban areas. We then created beautiful urban scenes using only paper, scissors and glue! Our scenes included paved roads, sidewalks, tall buildings, stop signs, traffic lights, cars, airplanes in the sky and more! They turned out amazing. Today we had a lockdown practice and the grade ones did a great job staying calm, quiet and doing exactly what they were supposed to do. Well done grade ones. Thank you for understanding how ...
