Hello Grade One Families!
The feature imagine highlights Grade 1’s bulletin board “Oh Deer Winter is here!” The children really enjoyed creating our winter deer art projects! There was so much wonderful energy in the classroom during the first week back after the Christmas holidays. The students were so happy to see each other and were very eager to get right back to learning. We are looking forward to the week, especially hosting Mass on Thursday, January 18th. Please join us if you are able to! Just a friendly reminder that there is no school on Friday, January 19th as it is a professional development day.
Here are some of the questions that we will be exploring this month:
How can I help myself to be safe?
What are the common elements in a story (characters, setting, plot, problem, solution)?
How can I share ideas about one topic? (paragraph writing)
How do we see and use numbers in our daily lives?
What are some patterns that numbers follow?
What do you know about the seasons?
What patterns do you notice in the sky?
What is a community? What are the components of a community? How can we be involved in our communities and how can we affect our communities?
We are looking forward to the students’ wonderings and ideas!!
