Good Afternoon Everyone!
What a quick week this has been. Truly, time flies when we are having fun. This week in Grade 1 we have been doing a lot of learning. We are pleased to welcome another new student to our Grade 1 classroom!
We continue our exploration of word choice to make our writing better- we love using new word and making them our words! We reviewed what word choice is and have been trying our best to use words to help us write with details. We continue to work on word choice and will begin learning a new writing genre- Report Writing! Over the course of the next two to three weeks, we will be discussing what Reports are and how we write a report. Our plan is to be able to research and write about our Favourite Wild Animals.

Word Choice.. Verbs... naming words... describing words...
feeling words.... Oh Me! Oh My! |

Having Ms. Pavitra here is such fun.. we even had a discussion over
what group she would be reading with next week! Thank you
for coming to help us. |
 |
| We listen to stories and help each other read! |
 |
| We love to write. |
In math, we continue working on time- reading time to the hour and half an hour has been fun. Although it is a difficult concept, my students are beginning to get the hang of reading an analogue clock. We will continue to work on reading time quarter past the hour, and quarter to the hour!

Digital clocks are easier than Analogue Clocks! If only we
all only used Digital Clocks! |
 |
| This is 7 O'Clock! |
 |
| Now... what is 10:30 look like again?!?!? |
 |
| This is easy stuff as long as I concentrate! |
 |
| We enjoy working with clocks! |
We love Science, and have been discussing Materials- their uses and their properties. We enjoyed asking questions and clarifying our ideas. We even went on to discuss what solids, liquids and gases were. We had fun watching the Brainpop video to help us understand these concepts and were able to then put all that knowledge to use when we had to identify different materials.

| We loved discussion and naming the materials! |

In Science, we have discussed Rules, Families and Responsibilities, as well as consequences. We had begun talking about Communities- jobs people have in the communities and what we would like to be when we grow up!

We had a super fun Wednesday- participating in the walk-a-thin and I am very proud of all our kiddies as they ran and walked with such enthusiasm. Thank you for sponsoring them to run and walk!

| Ready! Set! and Waiting to Go! All for a good cause. |
We were invited to visit with the JK class and we had a wonderful time listening to their presentations on Wild Animals, having them read the books they made to us and listening to how they made a model zoo! Thank you JK for inviting us!
