Halloween

Our Halloween party was great, and there were a lot of amazing costumes! Thank you moms and dads for all the work you put into it...it was a wonderful afternoon.

Carving Jack-o-lanterns

We carved jack-o-lanterns with our grade six buddies. It is a messy job but we had fun, and we carved some wonderful jack-o-lanterns.

No Buses Today

Because of the winter storm we had very few buses were running today, and we only had nine students in our class. It was toooo quiet, so we combined with the other grade one class to learn about Halloween safety.

Our First Snow Day

Today was the first snowy day this school year, and there was certainly a lot of snow! By the end of the school day our playground was full of snowmen and snowforts, and we were all very wet!

The Wheels on the Bus

Today we read a story called "I Drive". As part of the story we sang "The Wheels on the Bus". Our favorite verse in the song is when the baby goes "wa,wa, wa".

Favorite Book Character Day

Today we could come to school dressed up as our favorite book character. We had some very interesting characters, including: a fairy, a hot wheel driver, Diego, Splat, two Pinkalicious girls, Dora, Bluealicious, Bel, General Grevious, Shaggy, and Robin Hood. I am glad that our class knows so many different book characters.

Take Home Books

We are becoming such good readers in grade one that we now take REAL books home to read to our parents every night. Remember parents, we have to practise, practise, practise if we want to become good readers!

Book Fair

Our school is having a book fair on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week. Our class went to "browse" and see what we think we would like, then we went home and told our parents what was at the book fair. We will also be having a family barbeque on Tuesday evening. We hope you all will attend.

Language Arts Pods

Today we worked in pods for language arts. We worked on the Smartboard with word families, we went to Starfall on the computers, we spelled word family words, we sequenced the sounds and letters of the alphabet, we played Go Fish with letters and sounds, and we did rhyming word puzzles.

Thank you!

Our school collected food for World Food Day, and our class remembered to bring a LOT of dry food and canned goods to give to people who need help. A great big thank you to all of our parents!

Sight Word Concentration

Today we played concentration with a partner. We used the five sight words that we are learning this week, and the game is a way for us to practise those five words.

What Did They Say?

Today in guided reading we brainstormed possible conversations between the knight and the dragons as they sipped their tea in the story. We then used these ideas to act out the last page of the story.

Pumpkin Muffins

Today we baked pumpkin muffins with the Class 1.2. They were delicious.

We Are Thankful For...

These are the things we are thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

I Like...

Today we wrote stories about things that we like. We then took turns sitting in the "Authors'Chair" and shared what we wrote with the class. We also put our illustrations up on the document camera so that everyone could see what we had drawn.

A New Math Game

We love to play a math game on the Smartboard called "Give a Dog a Bone". We have to find hidden numbers on the 100 chart, and we are getting better and faster at it every time we play it.

Show and Share

On Friday we had five baby kittens come for Show and Share. They were very inquisitive and we all loved them!

Terry Fox Walk

Today we went on a Terry Fox walk with the other students in Division One. It was fun, but we were very tired when we got back! We had freezies when we got back to cool us off.Thank you Superstore for donating the freezies.
