Number Sentences from a picture
Grade ones have been working on making number sentences to match a given picture. This is proving to be challenging for many.
We have discussed how to make two reciprocal addition sentences by adding each group to the other – both ways – and getting a total. For subtraction they can also make two number sentences – one each for subtracting each group in turn from the total. With subtraction they need to start with all of the items i.e. the total (biggest) number.

Poppies … Division 7 Remembers 🌺
We made a variety of poppies for Remembrance Day. Students coloured, with markers or pencil crayons, both a ‘traditional’ poppy and one that was designed by an Indigenous artist. These were put on our wreath for display during the assembly. I will add a photo when I get it back from Mr. Stoffberg. We also made poppies in the style of Georgia O’Keefe. These were created through a directed drawing lesson done with pencil. Students then traced over their lines with china markers, also sometimes called grease pencils. Students coloured in the centre with green oil pastels. The poppy petals were painted with red tempera paint. Once the paint had dried, students went over the lines again with the china markers, cut the poppies out, and glued them onto the complementary colour of green construction paper. These are on the bulletin board with a few of the extra small poppies.
