Room 78

Hello friends and family of room 78!  It is unbelievable that another month has flown by.  Thank you to all parents who took time to come to the parent teacher conferences, I enjoyed sitting down with you all.   Monday is picture re-take day for those students who would like to have their pictures re-taken or if your student was absent on picture day.  Class photo's are taken later in the year.   Wednesday is Halloween, students can come to school in their costumes. We just ask that all masks and props stay at home. If your child is wearing make-up we ask that you keep age appropriate as we do have some 4 year olds in the building. PJ day is Thursday, November 1 st . Please leave your stuffed toys at home. Thank-you! In Music, the students are working on a song for Remembrance day, here is a link to the song      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jLqb3twIno     Some parents were asking for the link to learning websites for grade ones as we no longer subscribe to Mathletics

Hello family and friends of room 78!  We have had a wonderful week of learning.  We continue to talk about colours and seasonal changes.  We painted a beautiful fall tree in our journals and created a graph to depict each of our favourite colours.  We learned a new game called the 'hand tap' game that is a fun way to learn each others names.  In Math we worked on sorting and determining sorting rules, as well as practiced our numbers from 10-20. The weather is beautiful and we are planning on going on a Fall walk next Tuesday, October 23 at about 12:30pm.  If any parents would like to volunteer, please e-mail me to let me know that you will be joining us. There will be no book exchange this week as we will have the book fair set up in the learning commons.  Wednesday is Fun Lunch, the link to register for this is on the school website. Parent/Teacher interviews will be this week, please sign up for a 15 minute time slot at your earliest convenience, the link to do so can

Hello friends and family of room 78.  We did a lot of work this week and the students are ready for a weekend break! We learned a new reading strategy called Picturing Penguin.  When we don’t know a word we are reading we can try to look at the picture for a clue. In Math we worked on finding as many answers to a question as we could by drawing pictures and making a chart as a class.  (see pictures below). In Science we continued to talk about colour and made Primary colour monsters in our Visual Journal.  Ask me about my monster. Next week we will be learning some new words and practicing with them all week.  The words are;  red, blue, yellow, in, it, is, on.  Remember, library is on Wednesday so please return books before then.  Have a wonderful weekend!!

Hello friends and family of room 78!  Every Wednesday we will be having library exchange.  Students are allowed to take out 2 books, one for home and one for school.  We ask that they are returned back to school for the following week's book exchange.  Tomorrow will also be Fun Lunch so if you ordered, just send snacks to school.  If you want to order fun lunches, please check the Heathy Hunger section of the school web page.  Stuffy day will be on Thursday, students should bring only one stuffy and we suggest it is not the utmost favourite stuffy students own in case something should happen to it while at school.  Please ask your students what they have been writing about in their writing journals and what they have been doing in Math.
