This week we were excited to invite other important people in our school community to learn more about their roles and responsibilities at school.  One of our guests was Mrs. Scarrow.  She told us what some of her important jobs are at school.  We learned that she helps to keep our school safe.  She also helps teachers learn too!  


Learning Intentions:

I can understand ways that people help one another in our school community, to ensure the strength and positive energy of our school.  

I can appreciate the experiences of other members in our school community.  

I can appreciate how the actions of others can affect us.  


We learned that:

She uses her computer and her phone  

She organizes and makes schedules for the teachers and special activities, like Inline Skating and our Puppets 




Mrs. Dupius also came to talk to us about her important role and responsibilities.  She is a very important hellper in our school and she does lots of different things to help us and our school.  


Here are some things that we learned

When kids get really hurt or break their arm she calls moms and dads and then ambulance - Jovee

If they run out of stuff, she gets more by ordering more and she is in charge of keeping track of the budget - Eamon

If school is done and i got with my mom and my mom is not soon, Mrs. Dupuis will call my mom - Marat 



World Read Aloud Day - Wednesday, February 7

Wednesday was a special day as it was World Read Aloud day.  This is a day that has been marked as recognizing the importance and power of reading aloud.  We often enjoy many stories read aloud throughout each day and during the week in our classroom.  We use these to guide us in our writing to help us improve as writers.  We also often enjoy a story read during snack time.  Ask your child about some of the books we have shared together.  We also have them posted on our wall, to remind us of some of our favorite books read recently.  Ms. Gardner also read one of her favorite books this week - Sometimes You Barf!  It was a hoot.

We enjoyed the virtual session with David Robertson, who shared about himself as a writer and his inspiration for writing On the Trapline.  


Learning Intentions: 

I can listen to a variety of texts that are read aloud.  


Here are some of our comments after listening to him speak about being a author:

That he learned what his trapline looked like after he visited it with his dad - Presley

How the trapline looked and I noticed that he was very happy to be home in his place again - Liesel

It was interesting that the illustrator drew what his dad looked like and then it matched what he really looked like in real life

This week was jam-packed with lots of exciting learning opportunities.  Here is a peek at some of the learning from this week.   Pink Shirt Day Needle Felting with Grade 6 Buddies We had the opportunity to work with our grade 6 buddies to build a beautiful representation of friendship and to mark Pink Shirt Day.  Thanks to our Student Voice who started this initiative, students in grade 1 and grade 6 partnered up to draw a heart, transfer it to felt square and then using roving wool and a felting needle created a quilted square that will be joined with others to create a friendship quilt.   Tea cher’s Pet Thank you to our amazing parent volunteers that were able to join us for this in-school experience.  Students investigated energy and built their understanding of direction, pathway, and speed of moving objects and animals.

December 4-7 Math - Repeating Patterns

Image
  For the last few weeks we have been building our understanding of patterns by looking at patterns and cycles found in our everyday life, creating our own patterns with different elements, extending and translating patterns using a variety of materials.  The following is a summary of the key ideas and concepts we have been learning. Learning Intentions I can recognize cycles encountered in daily routines and nature. I can identify the pattern core, up to four elements, in a cycle. I can d escribe change and what stays the same in repeating patterns and cycles. I can copy a pattern of up to four elements in a different way (translate). I can extend a pattern. What Is a Repeating Shape Pattern? A repeating shape pattern is a sequence of 2-D shapes or 3-D objects where a first set of shapes or objects repeats over and over. The smallest set of items that repeats is called the core of the pattern. Since repeating patterns always involve some sort of repetition, knowing the core o...
