Hello parents. Hope you enjoyed the beautiful weekend! Today was another great and busy day! Here’s a look at what we did:

Math

Grade 1

I really felt that most of the students had trouble putting things into groups of 10’s and then counting by 10’s once they were sorted. It is hard to break out of the habit to just counting things one by one. I really felt that I wanted the grade ones to practice this skill some more. We went over this today, and did some examples together on the board. They then worked on some worksheets. The very last worksheet is labeled “Scoop and Sort”. I explained this to the students, so just in case they forget here is what your supposed to do. You have to use any kind of objects (crayons, lego, markers, forks). You have to first “scoop” a handful of that object and count the objects, trying to put them into groups of 10 first. The scoops go up in number from 1 to 10. So, first you count using one scoop, then 2 scoops, then 3 scoops, and so on and so on.

Homework:

3 worksheets

Grade 2

Today the grade 2’s learned how to use a number line to count. We spent most of the class finding the missing numbers on the number line. They were able to understand the importance of order in relation to numbers. This was a concept they grasped right away! Most of the students finished their work in class today,

Homework:

MMS – pg. 33

UOI

Grade 1

Today I discussed the summative project with students went over the rubric, so students know what is expected of them. They spent this period working on their title page for the booklet (summative project). Parents, we are working on a timeline that defines who we are. I sent a note home about this on Friday. I still need baby pictures, toddler pictures, and current day pictures of some students. In total I need 3 pictures. If you can please remember this for tomorrow, that would be great!

No homework

Grade 2

Today the grade twos had the chance to explore India learning specifically about the clothing, food, shelter ect. They then shared their findings to the group. This was a continuation lesson, as the grade 2’s did not finish this last week. – Mr. Monaghan

French – Mme. Stella

Grade 2

Novel Study

As a class, we read chapter 3 of “Flat Stanley”. I can honestly say that I have never seen the students so focused on a story before. They really do love this book. From the reading assessments, I have noticed that the students have some difficulty retelling the story using the beginning, the middle, and the end of the novel. We talked about this today in reference to chapter 4.
