Fantastic

Hi SK Parents!

We had a fabulous day in GRADE 1! The students were so excited to experience a full day in grade 1. They were so respectful towards their classmates and myself, and I cannot wait to teach them next year!

Reminders:

1.    I sent home their report cards from Ms. Chang and Ms. Genco.  I had them put the report cards directly into their bag.

2.    Parent Teacher Interviews will be held on Thursday, December 4^th, 2014. 

Take a look at our day:

House GAMES in the gym!

French – Mme. Stella

Drama – Mr. Monaghan

Name Game and Christmas Name Trees

I wanted to get to know the students a little more, so we played the name game! The students had to say their names with action. They got really into it. We then made Christmas trees with our names.

Math

Today we focused on graphing. Each student got a bag of red and green skittles, along with a graphing worksheet. They made a bar graph with the two colours, and answered questions on the back. This was to teach them the proper words to use when explaining a graph. After they completed their work, they got to eat the skittles, which they absolutely loved.

UOI

In grade 1, we learn about dinosaurs in UOI! We read a funny story about dinosaur in underpants! They then wrote about their favorite part of the story and then got to colour their own underpants! We didn’t get a chance to finish this activity, so I sent the booklet home for the kids to colour!

Language

In grade 1, we focus on “The Daily Five” in language. These centers focus on reading and writing. We did Christmas themed centers. The students wrote about their favourite part of a story we read, they used to stamps to create Christmas sight words, they worked phonics, and they also “read to self”. They loved this!

I had a lot of fun with SK’s today and I really hope to see them next year in my class!

Have a great weekend!
