Hello Families,

Here are some pictures of our Learning this week!

Read Alouds & Buddies

This week we read the Gruffalo again. This time students listened and put the events in the story in order. Some students also made their own Deep Dark Woods! The Grade 4’s in Ms. Sarrazin’s class will be our buddies this year. They have recorded themselves reading books for us to listen to each week. We look forward to listening to all of their stories and seeing them on the big screen! We also read lots of Aaron Blabey books. They always make us laugh 🙂

Reading Groups

The Grade 1’s learned how Reading Groups work this week. We used our checklists to make sure we completed all of our independent activities. I am so proud of how focused they were! Next week we will start Reading Groups with Ms. Sokugawa’s class.

Community

Together as a class we brainstormed Services and Helpers in our Community. We wrote our ideas in our Community Books.

Math

We created our own Pattern Posters to show our learning. We also practiced our number sense by playing math card games together.

Gratitude

Each Thursday our Morning Meeting Question is to share something that we are thankful for. This week Gilmore had Gratitude Slips placed around the school. The Grade 1’s could give a slip to someone and tell them why they were grateful for them. It was very nice to hear all the nice things they shared with each other, and students were so excited to receive one.
