Reminders

·      Spelling work is not due until THURSDAYS. It is

a lot of work for the grade 1’s to finish in class, so I have decided to give them until Thursday of each week to complete the workbook, and the sentences.

·      Spelling Tests are written every Friday

·       SIGN UP FOR FALL FESTIVAL! I have put the permission form in the pocket of the agenda, and the flyer is printed on the back with all the information.

Our Day

French – Mme. Stella

Dramatic Art – Mr. Monaghan

Gym – Ms. Lovan

Math

Today in math, the students told me what their favourite part patterning was, and why. We also did some activities on the carpet using objects. Then the students did a review in their workbooks, and worked on some extra patterning sheets.

MMS: pg. 16

UOI – Unit of Inquiry

Today in UOI, the children did some acting!! They received scenarios of children who were acting irresponsible. With their table groups, they acted out how to fix the situation to be responsible students. They had a great time doing this!

Novel Study

So far the children LOVE Flat Stanley. Today we read chapter 2, and recapped what happened at the beginning, the middle, and the end of the chapter. I am trying to review this process with the students, as we will be doing our DRA’s soon.

Writing

Yesterday, we did not get a chance to finish practicing our sentences, so we reviewed this today, and worked on their sentences.

Have a great night!
