What happened this week in math?

In Kindergarten, the students are learning about patterns. Please check your child’s backpack for some patterning worksheets and ask your child to explain the patterns to you.

In Grade 1, we have been using “counting collections” (small containers of objects) to sort, pattern and count. We have been using “10 frames” to organize the objects for counting by 10s.

Orange Shirt Day

The students listened so well during the Orange Shirt Day assembly. We watched other classes perform drumming, read land acknowledgements, read stories, and share their learning about reconciliation. Please note that school will be closed on Monday September 30 to honour Truth and Reconciliation.

Fun in the sun

We enjoyed playing in the sun this afternoon.

Library Books

Your child brought home 2 library books on Wednesday. Please read and share these books at home together. Please return them to school in the ziploc bag on Wednesday so your child can check out 2 new books.

Good bye to Leo!

Leo will be moving so we all wished him well on his last day of school today. Leo, we wish you lots of new friends and fun times at your new school! We will miss you!

Good bye from me

I just want to say a quick good-bye and thank you all for your support (see letter sent home yesterday). Ms. Kasic will be an awesome teacher for the class! I’ll be back before you know it! Take care!
