Hello Guardians,

We have had a very busy week of learning! With Mrs. Witczak's class we learned the following words:

  • can
  • and
  • the
  • am
  • like
We read poems that included the words and also practiced making them using a variety of different materials.



 We read the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle. After that, we began to create our own version of the story. Have your child try to read the first two pages of our story to you.





The students learned to draw a cat and shark using basic shapes, such as circles, triangles, rectangles and squares.

During math, we learned about sorting. Have your child tell you how the following items were sorted in each picture.




Reminders:

  • Parent/Teacher conferences are next week. Please book a time to come and meet me. 🙂
  • Please return the white envelopes with the forms completed inside.
  • If you wish to receive messages from the school please subscribe to School Messenger by clicking on:

    Requests:
    • We are looking for a few items to complete projects over the next few days. If you have any extra at home, can you please send them in, DO NOT go out and buy anything:)
      • Magazines (that are appropriate for student's to look at.) We will be cutting them up for a science project. Therefore, they will NOT be returned to you.
      • Paper towel tubes (the empty tubes)
      • Please help your child to collect 3 leaves to bring into school on Monday.

      Dear parents and guardians, Sorry for the long delay in putting up a new post. This time of year is very busy! As always, our students have had many awesome learning experiences in the last couple of weeks. In language arts, we... - worked on our journals (students should be able to ... write 8-10 sentences, edit for proper use of periods and capitals, spell their sight words correctly, add description instead of just listing events, and use juicy descriptive words). - continued our literacy centres (read with me, buddy read, phonics books, reading comprehension pages, iPads and writing). The students are always excited for literacy centres and are showing a love of reading already. A love for reading is SO important! - wrote our letters to home. At this point in time, you should be seeing your child attempt all of the things that are listed under expectations for journal writing. - finished our second class chapter book called "Tigers at Twilight". Ask your child abo...

      Dear Parents/Guardians, Inline Skating : Our class will be skating on  March 20, 21 and 22 . If you wish, you may send your child's helmet to school on Monday, March 19 and it can stay in our classroom for the week. At this point in time, we do not require parent volunteers as the Leadership Club from Kenneth D. Taylor will be supporting students with getting their gear on.     Request: We are going to be starting our science unit on Building Things in the next few weeks. It is a really fun unit, but it requires lots of materials. Therefore, we are requesting your help!   If you have any of the following items that are empty and clean, please send them with your child to school.   ·        Kleenex boxes ·        Cereal boxes ·        Yogurt cups ·        Shoe boxes ·        Toilet p...

      Dear Parents and Guardians, Here is an update from the CBE regarding the winter weather warning: We have had a jam packed week of learning so far! We are continuing to work on our sight words. Seeing as we are about half way through the year, students should be able to recite at least 50 of the first 100 words quickly (2 seconds or less) . Students are making great progress in this area and it is really helping them with their reading and writing. One Monday, we worked on our journals. Here are some examples: We began story writing this week in regards to our missing gingerbread people (that have all been found!).  As a class, we worked on an introduction. Like good writers to, we then went back and edited our work for proper punctuation as well as re-worded things that did not make sense. Our class is really focusing on independently making edits to their work by circling the word that they want to edit and writing the edit above. We have...
