Hello friends and family of room 78!  We have had a wonderful week back.  In gym we have started gymnastics.  We ask students to please tie back any long hair, not to wear jewelry to school, and wear pants that are comfortable and don’t need belts.  This is for student safety when learning new gymnastic skills in the gym.

On January 25 our class will be working with Miss Hill’s and Miss Hardy’s class to put on an assembly.  We will be sharing some artwork, singing a song we have learned and possibly more.  The assembly will begin at 9:30am and all parents are welcome to attend.

We will be going to Fort Calgary on February 28 to learn more about Calgary’s past.  We will need volunteers for this, it is a great experience for all!  Our bus will leave Cranston school at 8:40 am. Let me know if you would like to volunteer.

We will be going swimming from March 11- 15.  We are in need of volunteers every day (male volunteers are in short supply!).  Our swim times are from 1:00-1:45.  Please let me know if you are interested in helping us out.

Thank you for continuing to read with your children at home as much as possible.  It is a great time of year to look back and see how much progress has been made so far in grade one!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

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

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.

Hello friends and families of room 78.  Thank you to all the parents who made it out to meet the teacher night, it was great to see you and show you what we have been up to.  Home reading has gone home, please try to read with your children every night, it does make a world of difference.  We have created a webpage with links that parents and students can use to access appropriate websites to have fun learning.  Here is a link to that page:   https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nZWAOwfSpV1gVsOad-y2EsNePJ0TkNEiDY175Rg41Dg/edit?usp=sharing On Friday we will be having our annual Terry Fox Run to raise money for cancer research.  We are asking that the students bring a 'toony for Terry' on Friday.  Have a great evening!
