Conferences Bookings

We will be hosting virtual Learning Conferences on November 25 at 4:00-7:30 and November 26 at 8:00-1:00. Please ensure you have your PowerSchool account set up so you can book your conferences when they open later this month.

Language Arts

This week the Grade One Team introduced spaghetti and meatball writing to learn about the importance of spacing between words and letters when writing. Our next step next week is to implement this strategy in our daily writing work. We also focused on the letters Kk and Ff  and the sounds they make. As well, we learned when a and r are together in a word the r is controlling and together they make the sound 'R'. As a whole class, we spelled and read words like far, star, mark, dark, mark, park, stark, part, dart etc....



Remembrance Day

 Students in Room 8, 10, and 11 used the work of American artist Georgia O'Keeffe as inspiration for the creation of poppy art for Remembrance Day. Three different mediums were used; water colour, oil pastels, and chalk pastels. 




 Social Studies

 In social studies, we talked about our homes in our community. We then explored that homes are different depending on what community you live in. After reading a few books and viewing a some videos about homes around the world the students picked three types of homes they learnt about. Can you guess what kind of homes are drawn below?
