- In Science, we have been working with the other grade one classes on the Beakerhead Ingenuity Challenge. We worked on creating a machine powered by an elastic that could launch a pom-pom. You can see our submission to Beakerhead about this process here:
- In math, we have been working on the concept of ten when looking at two digit numbers. We have also been working on adding ten in addition sentences. At home, your child can practice by rolling a dice and adding ten to their roll.
- In writing, we have been continuing to work on persuasive writing and comic book style story telling through the lens of Mo Willems and his pigeon books. We have been writing our own stories using the Pigeon as an inspiration.
Classroom Updates

- Jump Rope for Heart fundraising packages went home on Thursday. Forms are due back on February 20th.

- Valentine's Day is quickly approaching! Cards are completely optional. If your child wishes to bring in cards, please bring in 42 cards signed by your child. In the 'To' space, they may write friend. This eases the passing out process. We will celebrate the friends that we have in our class on February 12th in the afternoon.
