Hi Mom and Dad!
This week we continued to get used to routine and being at school for the whole day!
Our classroom mantra is "I CAN TRY"! We've learned that it is important to try even if we make mistakes, helping us build our confidence.
It was our turn for Discovery Archeology this week! Thank you to all the parent volunteers that helped out. We learned how to put a Bison skeleton together, the difference between Human bones and Animal bones, what is an Eco Fact and what is an Artifact as well as learned how archeologists gather information about ancient artifacts by weighing, measuring and observing. Ask me what my favourite station was!! Did you know that bones aren't white? Strong bones are actually tan or light brown in colour!
We are learning many different ways to show numbers during our calendar. Tally marks, ten frames are just some of the ways!
We are beginning to build our confidence during writing journals. Sounding out the words and putting the first letter sound we hear. Sometimes we can put more than just one letter sound. We really are trying and building our confidence!
Important Reminders
Please send in your baby pictures if you haven't already.
Mrs. Dei Cont bought some Pringles to eat all weekend, but we could still use some more containers!
Our open house is on September 20th from 6:30 -7:30pm. This will be an opportunity for you to listen to a short presentation about your child's class and what grade one looks like for the year! You may chose to come at 6:30 or at 7pm. Afterwards, our parent council is putting on an outdoor movie!!! Information is in the weekly update.
With the colder weather sneaking up on us, please make sure your child is properly dressed for outside play time. We go out during the day for body breaks and at lunch. The only times children do not go out at lunch is during heavy rain and extreme cold.
Please label all belongings!!! Our lost and found is already getting full!!!
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. McIntosh and Mrs. Dei Cont :)
