Our First Full Week of Grade One is Complete

Student Learning: 
  • In math, we have started our work on sorting and patterns. Ask your child to share their understanding of the math words: attribute and core. 
  • Dot Day was a success! Stand by as the grade ones work together to create a Kandinsky inspired tree out of the dots that were created on Friday.

Classroom Updates: 

  • We will be working on a special cover for our Visual Sketch Journal. For this cover, we are asking for families to send in 7 - 8 photos of your child, their family and photos of any items that are special to them. This may be photographs or they can be pictures printed from the internet that show these special items. If you are unable to print the pictures, you may email your child's teacher and we can print them for you. These photos will be used in their visual journal and will be connected to the Social Studies curriculum. Please send photos in a small plastic bag labelled with your child's name by Monday, September 16th.
  • Thank you to everyone who has sent in the beginning of the year forms. If you have not yet, please send them back to school as soon as possible. 
  • Conferences will be on Thursday, September 19th and Friday, September 20th. Conference booking opens on Sunday and may be done through your Power School account. 
  • Due to conferences, students will be dismissed on Thursday, September 19th at 12:00pm and there is not school on Friday, September 20th. 

Have a wonderful, restful weekend!
