Hello friends and family of room 78! In class We have continued to build our understanding of addition and subtraction through games and word problems.   We are working with numbers below 20.   This week we were focusing on our feelings.   We have identified several different emotions and what we do when we experience them.   Students have been working on helping each other experience positive emotions and noticing when others are not having a great time.   We watched this video created by a former teacher at Cranston to explain emotions and our control over them.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bKuoH8CkFc During word work we continued to work with letter blends sh and ch.   Students have been learning some new poems featuring many sight words and several new words.   It is great to see their confidence growing when reading poems for the class. In Science we have continued to study living and non-living things.  Students have created many art pag

Spring is here!

Hello friends and families of room 78.  We have had a wonderful time back since spring break.  Students are learning about our 5 senses and continuing to work on addition and subtraction facts to 20.  We have been focusing on one more, one less, two more, two less.  Next Wednesday, April 10, we are hoping to go on a spring walk.  The walk would take place at 12:30 and run for about an hour.  If you are available to volunteer, we would absolutely love to have you! Parent teacher interviews will be April 17 and 18, I am looking forward to meeting with all of you!

Hello friends and family of room 78.  Thank you to all parents who donated supplies to make our pita party a success, we had so many items we needed to send some back home.  Again, thank you so much, without your support our pita's would not have been as delicious.  We have been working on addition this month and students would benefit from some practice at home.  Some of the facts we are working on memorizing are doubles.  eg;  1+1 = 2, 2+2 = 4, etc.  We have also been working on all the facts that add to 10.  In writing we have been focusing on creating interesting sentences.  Instead of writing "I went to the store" , we are beginning to use interesting verbs and adding more details such as "On Saturday I skipped to the store to buy a slurpee because I had money from the tooth fairy!".  We still need volunteers for the field trip to Fort Calgary on February 28.  Please consider joining us on this wonderful trip.  We also continue to need volunteers fo
