Thank you to all of the families that took time to come to parent teacher conferences, it was wonderful to meet everyone. Our classroom and school have been very busy the last two weeks. We have participated in our school opening Mass, the Terry Fox run, and Orange shirt day. The students have been learning more about letters and letter sounds and we have started working on sight words. Every morning we practice reading and spelling our sight words as well as reviewing letter sounds and names. In math we continue to work on number sense to 10. We are starting to compare numbers and soon we will begin to use mathematical language like greater than and less than. Our online math program called Zorbits was introduced to the students this week. This program uses games to reinforce mathematical concepts. We will use this program in class but you can also use it at home. The website and login information was taped onto the front page of your child's agenda (please do not remove). In science we have been looking at secondary colours. Our next step is to discuss how we can make a colour darker or lighter. In social studies we continue to discuss the different groups that we belong to. Today we discussed the groups in our school community that we belong to. If you would like to volunteer please remember to sign up using the volunteer tab on this blog. If you are having troubles please send me an email of when you would like to come in and we can arrange a time for you to volunteer.
