Dear Grade One parents/guardians,

If you choose to have your child give Valentine’s cards to his/her classmates (this is an optional activity), please help him or her to prepare a Valentine ‘to’ each child in the class. Allowing your child to print the names will help him/her to read the names and put them in the correct Valentine ‘mailbag’ at school. Please have your child ‘sign’ each card to indicate who the card is ‘from’. These cards are a great example of writing for a purpose!
Valentine’s cards will be opened on Wednesday, February 12^th. 

Please do not send any candies/gifts with the cards.

We had a special presentation today by  Marrisa (our school's occupational therapist). Marrisa talked to us about the 4 zones of regulation and how we can control our feelings. We also practiced some exercises that helps us calm ourselves.

We made lanterns with our grade 2 buddies.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

Reminders:

• The CHS “Coventry Cares Club” is asking students and families to support our latest initiative “Koalas & Kangas” by bringing a loonie or a toonie to school between January 20 and March 19, 2020..
• Jan 31st is a non-instructional day.

Early dismissal tomorrow.

Math problem of the day:

Our new science topic is 'senses'.

Toady we did an experiment in which we used our sense of hearing. We had to guess what was in the container by listening to the sound it made.

In math today we practiced different ways to represent 12 (tallies, addition, subtraction, ten's frame.
8+4= 12         12+0=12
13-1=12         14-2=12

In writing we practiced how to write a 'super sentences' by adding details.
e.g. On Sunday afternoon I rode my bike to the park near my house.

In reading we are working on retelling a story:

Term one report cards coming home today.


The CHS “Coventry Cares Club” is asking students and families to support our latest initiative “Koalas & Kangas” by bringing a loonie or a toonie to school between January 20 and March 19, 2020. The students thought that this would be a good way to be global citizens and make a difference by helping and supporting animals that have been affected by the current Australian wildfires. With your help we hope to send a really BIG cheque to one of the charities currently rescuing and nursing injured koalas and kangaroos. The BEST part of this project is that Mrs. Verstraete’s daughter, Miss V., is currently teaching in Brisbane, AU, and can personally deliver our money to the charity of our choice. She will also send us back some pictures of our money in action! Thanks for your help and support of “Koalas & Kangas”!

Early dismissal tomorrow.

Report cards for semester one will be coming home tomorrow.

In math today we played a number game in which each students was assigned a number and we came up with different ways to make numbers.
11 = 10 + 1     {11 has one 10 and 1 one}

Poem of the month

Toady we practiced using a checklist to edit our written work.


               







Report cards (semester 1) will be coming home on Friday.

In Powerschool there will be a new program starting on Monday called 'Grade Book Pro'. More information regarding this program will be coming from the office. This program will give you the opportunity to receive ongoing formative assessment of your child's progress in reading and math.

Please remember...

Students NEED to come prepared for the weather (winter jacket, snow pants, mitts, toque) in case we have to evacuate the building .  

Students taking the bus also need to be prepared.  If the bus breaks down, they might have to walk, so they should have all their gear on or in their backpack!

We completed our 'tradition books' today.

In math, we practiced subtraction strategies.

Friday Jan 10th/2020

We also did a S.W.Art (Science-Writing-Art) project about winter using our five senses. We wrote about things we see and hear in winter. After that we did some thumbprint snowpeople.

Today we read books with our grade three buddies.

There is no school on Monday January 13th.
