Ms. Youngblood's Grade 1 and 2 class

 Hello families,  This week we have been doing a pumpkin study. In writing and science we are learning to use sentence starters and our senses to add detail to our writing. We touched, smelt, looked, heard and tasted pumpkin seeds. Then we wrote about what we felt, heard, tasted ect.  In math we have been learning to count to 100. We took out our pumpkin seeds and counted them on the number line to see how many seeds each pumpkin had.  In Art, we have been focusing on texture we painted our pumpkins to go into the class pumpkin patch and we also did a drawing and sketch of our pumpkins. We were able to bring everything we have learned together to study these pumpkins.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Ms. Youngblood 

 

  Halloween October 29, 2020:    Students are welcome to wear a costume to school on Oct. 29 , 2020. We ask that all students do not wear a mask or bring any accessories (swords, staffs, shields, etc.) to go with their costume. Costumes should be easy to move in as students will still participate in gym on Thursday.    Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we ask that parents do not send any items (food, prizes, pencils, erasers, etc.) to share with the class at this time.    Some activities your child’s class may  participate in include learning about pumpkins, carving or decorating a pumpkin with their class, walking through our school ‘Pumpkin Patch’, counting pumpkin seeds, writing about pumpkins, watching the great pumpkin charlie brown etc., throughout the week. We look forward to learning together as we get ready for this exciting time of the year. A special thank you to our School Council who purchased a pumpkin for each class! Please let me ...

We even went for a walk around the field and saw all the leaves falling. We have been also learning about our five s...
