Here are a few of the curricular concepts we will be working on this week. 😀
Language Arts/Literacy:
- Digraphs- we are working on the sounds that ch, sh and th make. Here are some songs to help you practice at home:
- Writing- the gingerbread people we made have disappeared! We are currently working on creating "Missing" posters to help us locate them. We discussed creating a clear, attention grabbing introduction and a detailed description of our gingerbread person.
- Literacy Centres- the students have been working on Raz-Kids on the iPads. They have also been playing rhyming games, sorting words based on digraphs, practicing their poetry and exploring new guided reading books with their teacher.
Math:
- Number Lines- the students have been using number lines to help them solve addition equations. Please check your child's backpack tomorrow for the math sheet we have been working on.
- One more/Less- we learned how to play a new math game! Your child should have brought it home yesterday. Ask them to show you how to play.
Science:
- Sense of smell- we are discussing our favourite scents and are reviewing why our sense of smell is important.
Health:
- Being Helpful- we listened to a book about being responsible/helpful. We then discussed ways we can be helpful to others/ the environment. The students then worked with a partner to create a poster about being helpful.
Home Practice Opportunities:
- Sight Words- please continue to practice the Fry First 100 sight words at home. We are working towards reading at least 50 words from the list by the start of March.
- Digraphs- please review the sounds that ch, sh and th make. Have your child find words that include the digraphs while they complete their home reading.
- Math- Say a number to 20 and have your child state the number that is one more or less
Reminders:
- Popcorn day tomorrow
- Please books a student led conference
