Dear Parents:
We have had another amazing week in grade 1. Students have been focused on working on our Coyote Research Project and our 3D Shape Museum as well. Thank you for your support in helping your child select a special item to share. We also enjoyed coming together at the end of the week to celebrate all our talented students at our talent show on Friday.
Reminders
-Please return all Library books from the Learning Commons by Monday!
-We will be beginning an art project on Friday June 13. Each child is required to have a hand towel or a tea towel for this project. Please send this with your child by Wednesday June 11. Thank you in advance for your help.
-Our Lacross residency will begin on Monday. Students will be attending two sessions during the week. On the other days we will have our gym classes outside. Please make sure your child has appropriate footwear all week to play and run outside.
We are also excited for our Lacrosse Residency this upcoming week. This means that we will be outside for Phys. Ed when we do not have our time in the gym. Please help to ensure your child has appropriate footwear for playing outside this week and is dressed for the weather.
Coyote Research - Literacy/Science
This week, we dived into learning about Coyotes and how they are connected to us and where we live. We learned about what it looks like, what its basic needs are, its environment and adaptations. Each day, we read information and had discussions about a topic. We then recorded our information in our visual journals to show and represent our learning and understanding. We have been very interested to learn more each day. Take a look at some of our work!
Learning Intentions
I can use organizational tools to record information
I can gather information from a variety of different places and sources
I can ask questions to identify research topics
I can record factual information in various ways
I can show an animal in its environment
I can determine how the local environment meets the basic needs of an animal
Math - 3D Shape Museum
This week, students engaged in tasks to develop their understanding of concepts relating to 3 D shapes. We examined 3D objects, found examples of 3D shapes in our city skyline, and as a conclusion to our study, we created a 3D museum of found objects from home.
Learning Intention:
I can sort and classify 3-D shapes using a variety of attributes.
I can identify familiar 3D shapes
I can identify familiar 3D shapes
Literacy
This week we focus on R Controlled vowel sounds. Please take a look at the home practice to support your child in this learning.
