Grade 1 spent the week gathering
and organizing information for their research project about ocean life. Our
class also inquired into how humans use the oceans and how it affects ocean
plants and animals. The children are clearly making connections to our unit of
inquiry. During our discussions, our
class suggested that we think of solutions to help address some of the issues
that affect the oceans.
In math, we inquired into
different ways to measure. The children made predictions and measured capacity
using different measuring containers. We continue to explore fractions through
sharing and equal partition of wholes and sets or groups of objects.
In literacy, we have been
reading and writing poems to celebrate poetry week. The children wrote rhyming
and acrostic poems about oceans.
Highlights of the week:
Exploring Fractions
We are exploring fractions
through problem solving.
Grade 1 Wall Aquarium
Stop by to see our amazing
wall aquarium! The children did a research on their favorite ocean creatures
and also painted the most beautiful 3-D looking pictures to go with their
research.
Exploring Capacity
Grade 1 had so much fun doing some outdoor math explorations! The children did their predictions and measuring activity. Well done, Grade 1!
STUDENT LED CONFERENCES
ES Student-Led Conferences is right around the corner! If you have not received your schedule by now, please make sure to contact the ES office. It will be difficult to reschedule for our Student-Led Conference because of how it is set up. I hope to see everyone on Wednesday, April 5th during your scheduled time.

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!
