Wednesday September 11, 2019

Hello Families,

What a busy week! The students are really settling quickly into our classroom routines. 

MATH:
We practiced building a number line while playing a number line card game with a partner. Students raced one another to see who could build their number line the fastest! We also did a mind map of what the word Math means to us and all the feelings and thoughts that come with it.

LANGUAGE ARTS:
We have started to practice our letter shapes and sizes during printing practice. We are reviewing our vowel and consonant sounds as we go. Please take a moment or two at home to practice some printing to ensure students are printing clearly and using their uppercase and lowercase letters in the correct spots. We use Sky, Grass, Dirt as our guide to ensuring our letters are the correct shape and size. If you would like some extra printing practice, I do have a document I can send along that can be printed at home. Please email me to request the PDF.

SOCIAL STUDIES:
We have started to talk about the 3 dynamic communities we will be studying this year. Iqaluit, Meteghan and Saskatoon. We have started off by looking at our own families and will be looking at our community of Auburn Bay next. We are creating a flip book in our visual journals.
