January 16 - 20

 

This was a busy week this week with lots of teacher visitors as I worked individually with grade 1 students to complete provincial assessments.  So I'm afraid I didn't end up taking any pictures. 

I Can Develop Listening Skills / I Can Sequence Main Ideas in a Story

This week students started listening to me read the short novel, "My Father's Dragon".  This short novel is a great way to help students develop their listening and comprehension skills.  As we are reading each chapter, we stop, talk about, and draw key moments.  Using longer texts is also a great way to help students develop their prediction skills over the course of a longer narrative.  Ask your child what Elmer packed into his backpack and what do they think he'll use the items for?

 Welcome Back!

It's so great to see everyone after the break - I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy their time off!  We had a busy start back this week.  Just a reminder that this week students were allowed to sign out two library books.  Our library book exchange day is on Wednesday.

I Can Move and Be Physically Active

This week were incredibly fortunate to partake in the Rocks and Rings residency.  Everyone had a lot of fun and we may even have some future curling stars in our midst.  

I Can Identify How Landforms Affect Communities 

This week we started our mini-booklets to illustrate our learning about different geographic landforms.  Students are able to use their illustration books as a stepping off point to help the share their learning in greater detail using oral language.
