We have had such a busy 2 weeks!
Last Tuesday we had Track Day! All afternoon we were outside doing long jump, 50 m, 100 m and Ball throw, as well as a few fun activities! The top 8 boys and girls from grades 1 and 2 will go to districts June 2. To see an album of the Track Meet click here.
On Thursday we had our school Talent Show! A few talented little minions from our class put on some wonderful acts! We are so proud of them!!!
In the past couple of weeks, we have been working with addition and subtraction facts up to 18 and finding the relationship between addition and subtraction.
We talked all about Fact Families and how subtraction and addition are opposites of each other. We played a few games with dice and in partners to explore different fact families.
We are also starting to talk about story problems; how we can create and solve them. Looking at images of animals in the safari we created some different addition and subtraction story problems. In small students used animal counters to create their own story problem and share with the class. Students are also using Work on Writing time to create story problems.
In Daily 5, students are really taking charge of their writing! They have been working on lists, letters, notes and even "texts" to friends in the class. We never have a shortage of volunteers for Author's Chair!
In Science, we have started discussing the Needs of Plants. We started off by thinking - what are plants? We brainstormed what types of things in our world are plants and read a few books about them.
Next we talked about how plants start - SEEDS! But what are seeds? We sorted different objects into seeds and not seeds and spent some time describing them with our 5 Senses! Our next experiment was so much fun, a seed search!
Each group had their own fruit or vegetable and had to take it apart to find out where the seeds were! Once all the seeds had been found each group ventured around the class to check out the different seeds. Students then compared two different seeds by how they look and feel.
A Few Reminders:
MONDAY: Fort Edmonton Field trip
Just a few reminders about our trip!
- Please bring a disposable lunch(with names on them:)! We will not have somewhere to store lunch bag and will be walking around all day so everything should be able to be thrown away (including water bottles).
- We are outside all day! Please dress for the weather. Right now its looking like light rain, so rain boots and rain jackets would be great!
- Please send your child with an extra snack we can leave on our desks for our return, we always seem to be hungry!
WEDNESDAY: Early Dismissal June 1st
We have two more weeks of swimming left! June 1st and June 8th.
THURSDAY: District Track Meet
Only those students who made the team will be attending at Riverview in Devon.
FRIDAY: Battle of the Books
