This Week in Grade 1CC

Grade 1 had an amazing journey inquiring into the unit, Express Ourselves. Next week we will begin unpacking our new unit of inquiry, Oceans. We will be inquiring about how we use the oceans and our responsibilities to help keep conserve resources from the oceans.

Highlights of the week:

Character Study

The children created their chosen characters for the fictional stories they will be writing next week.

Adam Lehrhaupt

Grade 1 did a Skype interview with a children’s book author, Adam Lehrhaupt.

Exploring 3-D shapes

Our class started creating our 3-D shape models inspired by the 3-D trash we have been collecting in class.

Exploring Symmetry

Students created their symmetrical shape designs using pattern blocks. Well done, Grade Ones!

Beach Dress-Up Day

On Tuesday, we will be doing an activity related to our new unit of inquiry about Oceans. Please have your child come to school on this day dressed in their best beach outfit (beach shorts, sundress for the girls, straw hats, sunglasses and flip-flops).

NO swimsuits, please!

REMINDERS:

·      We have swimming every Monday and PE on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

·      Readers and Reading Log: Readers and reading logs need to be sent back to school daily.

·      Pick–Up: You need to call or email Chantha in the ES office if there are changes in your child’s pick-up arrangement. If you are leaving the campus before 2:30 pm you also need to collect a gate pass (from the office) to be able to exit the school with your child. If your child is going home sick, the nurse will give you a gate pass when you collect your child from the clinic. 

·      These are the things that your child needs to bring to school daily:

 yellow folder

 book and reading log

water bottle, snack and a hat

Children need to have a hat to be able to play on the field or participate during outdoor P.E activities.

·      Please remind your child of their After School Activity for each day.

Have a great weekend!
