Hello families!

In Math, this week we have been focusing on place value and greater than/less than. We have been using the analogy of the “chomping alligator” because the alligator’s open mouth always wants to eat more (similar to the greater than symbol <).

Screen Time

I understand that students are using screens more at home than in years past but a lot of the language from video games and apps is making it’s way into the classsroom.  I have heard a lot of language from tiktok which is not an age appropriate app for Gr. 1 students to be familiar with.

For more age appropriate apps, I recommend using their RAZ Kids app so they can build on their skills. Perhaps you can find other math or reading apps that can be more interactive to reinforce concepts instead of apps like tiktok.

Home Reading

Thank you for reading with your children at home. We are seeing great progress in reading levels! Keep it up!

Hot lunch ordering

Just a reminder from the PAC that hot lunch ordering is now open for the Spring term on Munch a lunch if you would like to order for your child.

Have a lovely weekend!
