Update

 Hello families, 


I apologize for the lack of posting on the blog I was having some technical difficulties, however, I have seemed to solve them and will be posting more often. I just wanted to give you a quick update on what we have been learning in class. 


Writing 

In writing we are working on using sentences starters such as I see or I feel to depict what we see in a picture. 


Reading 

In reading we have been working on starting up our literacy stations. We will also be starting home reading next week. 


Math 

In math we have been working on subtilizing and breaking down numbers in as many ways as possible. We look at a picture and try and guess the number that it shows. 


Science 

In science we have been learning about our seasons such as fall and summer and learning about what animals and people do during these seasons. We even went for a walk around the field and saw all the leaves falling. We have been also learning about our five senses and how they protect us from danger. This week we have been working on describing things using our senses. 


Social Studies 

In social studies we have been learning about the different communities we belong to such as home, school, neighborhood and city. We have also learned about the people that help us in the communities. 


Health

In health we have been learning about the zones of regulation and how to identify when we are upset. We have also been putting together a toolbox to help us when we are in one of the zones. 


Gym 

In gym class we have been learning about the different ways to throw a ball such as underhand and overhand and learning about which was is the most effective. 


Once again I apologize for the silence and will be updating more often. 


Have a great day.

Remembrance Day

  Hello Families, On November 10 we will be celebrating Remembrance Day. We will be having a short video assembly on that day. Remembrance Day is a day where we mark the sacrifice of the many who have fallen in the service of their country, and to acknowledge the courage of those who still serve.   One of the most important things to remember is that many of those who served were not much older than a grade 9 student. Some of these men and women left high school and university to fly planes and man warships. Many stormed beaches, and fought in bunkers, and many did not make it to the age of 21.  They had bright futures, but they left the excitement, promises of graduation and sharing good times at home to serve. They understood that this would put their lives at risk, but they went anyway.  They left family and friends, jobs and schools...and off they went.   Remembrance Day is the time to honor those who have left homes and family and friends, and those who hav...
