 Welcome Back!  I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday!

If you have not signed your child into our Google Classroom, please do so.  If you need your child's Gmail address and password, please email me.

We started today with quiet reading.  We got new book bin books.  We did calendar and we practiced counting in different ways.  We read the story "Snowmen at Night".  We talked about what they think snowmen do at night.  We did literacy centers and we have new word wall words.  Our word review will be on Friday.  This weeks words are:

Group A - can, on, is, at, you ("can" and "at" have word families)

Group B - went, we, no, you, got, on ("went" and" got" have word families)

Group C - chair, cheese, lunch, touch, chapter

Group D - 'Pp, Nn, it, in

Please practice all word wall words on a regular basis.  After lunch we had mindfulness and gym.  In gym we are starting our gymnastics unit.  If you child has long hair, please tie it back or put an elastic in their backpack for the month.  Dresses and skirts are not recommended unless they are wearing leggings or pants under them.  Hoodies (with hoods) need to be taken off so please make sure they have a sirt underneath so they can take it off in the gym.   We did Mathletics and RazKids on the iPads.

A notice is coming home today outlining our Home Reading Program.  Please sign and return the bottom of the form before next week.  Please note:  there is a $5.00 fee for lost or heavily damaged books.

Every year TD Bank Group and the Canadian Children's Book Centre has given each grade one child a book to take home.  This year the book is Malaika's Costume.  Your child is bringing home this book for you to keep and enjoy.

I have provided the children with new playdough.  They may be bringing home their old playdough if it is still good.  

We are bringing home the "Mitten Art" we did before the holiday.

 Yesterday we started with quiet reading.  We changed our library books.  We did calendar and we practiced adding and subtracting.  We learned about the letter W.  We talked about the sound it makes and we brainstormed words that start with W.  We practiced printing it on our whiteboards and in our printing books.  We drew and labelled pictures that start with W and some of us wrote sentences that have W words in it. We did mindfulness and we practiced our sounds.  In math we worked on the number 12.  We talked about different ways to represent 12 including making addition sentences.  We did a listening game in Science.  We listened to different sounds and tried to identify them.

 Yesterday we started by watching a Alphablocks video.  We did calendar and we practiced drawing shapes.  We counted the sides and vertices of the shapes.  We did literacy centers.  We had indoor recess since it was so cold outside.  We learned about the letter C.  We talked about the 2 sounds it makes and we brainstormed words that begin with C.  We practiced printing it on our whiteboards and in our printing books.  We drew and labelled pictures and some of us wrote sentences with C words in them.  After lunch we finished our C work.  We played floor hockey in gym and we had another indoor recess.  We wrote our numbers as high as we can go (or filled in missing numbers if we can write our numbers correctly to 100).  We did Mathletics and Raz Kids on the iPads.
