This week we continued our learning about word families, sequencing stories, practicing our writing and listening to reading through literacy centers.
In math we continued to practice making 10, addition to12 and building our number sense through math centers. We also played our favourite math game....BUZZ.
Our words of the week this week were: an, do, into, them
Our words of the week next week are: came, does, new, will
In word work this week we practiced our words of the week and also discussed when we use periods. Many of us are trying to use them in our writing, but are not always putting them in the right place. We learned that periods are used at the end of a sentence and they help tell us when we need to take a break and pause when we are reading. We practiced together putting periods in the right spot and taking the out when they are in the middle of a sentence. This is a tricky skill, but we will continue to practice.
We also learned about the setting of a story and that it is the time and place that a story takes place. We worked with our grade 2 buddies to come up with a description of a setting for our character that we created together a few weeks ago. We worked so well with our grade 2 buddies and came up with some really creative settings that helped us to start "visualize" the setting.
In writing this week we wrote about our long weekend, sounds like everyone had a great time!
Yesterday we had an amazing field trip to Fort Calgary where we learned about what Calgary was like in the past. We learned about the Blackfoot and the Settlers. During our field trip we had an opportunity to dress up in clothing from the past. Some of us were dressed as settlers, some of us were dressed in Indigenous clothing and some of us were dressed in mountie clothing. We also got to go to 4 different stations and hold a variety of different artifacts from the past. One station was toy artifacts and we got to play with them! We also learned about how the Indigenous people and the Settlers made their houses back then and we even got to build a log cabin ourselves! We also got to go through the museums and sorted items into groups of building materials and tools. It was such a wonderful experience and we are so happy that we had the chance to go on this amazing field trip!!
In writing today we wrote about our field trip. We reflected on our trip to Fort Calgary and shared the different things we learned and what our favourite part was.
We also had our second session of Club Friday round 2. Everyone seems to really be enjoying their clubs. We have one more session of this round and then we will be changing to our third and last round of clubs for this year.
