- The grade ones finished their investigation of apples. We had the chance to participate in 3 different projects: coding, art and design. Here are some examples of our work:
- This week, we watched the movie, "Inside Out". Before, during and after the movie, we had conversations about what was happening and what students noticed. Here is a summary of some of the conversations that we had:
- Please ask your child to share some of the observations and connections that they made while watching this film.
- We sketched Joy and Fear using the guided drawing lessons from Kids Art Hub. Bing Bong, Anger, Sadness and Disgust are all on there as well if your child is interested is sketching them.
- We have been working on blends such as sp, sn, st and ch. Please look for these blends in books you read together.
Classroom Updates
- Students went home yesterday with a 'creation station'. They have been challenged to create something using the materials in the bag. Students are encouraged to take a picture of their creation and email it to their teacher or post it to Iris. In January, we will be beginning our science unit on Building Things and we will connect their creations to this unit
- Our next project in grade 1 will be building log cabins (big enough for a child to walk into) and we are looking for donations of cardboard rolls that we can use for our "logs".
- From us to you and your families, have a wonderful, safe and restful holidays. We look forward to seeing everyone in the new year and hearing all about your adventures.
