Hello Grade One Families!

Here are a few highlights from our fabulous week:

"In music we learned a new pumpkin song.  Pumpkin, pumpkin, round and fat...." Cooper

"We learned new ways to write in our fire writing journals.  Labeling our pictures is a way to write!" Evan

"We learned a song in music called Wiggle Like a Wiggle Worm.  It is one where you have to turn into a statue when the music stops."  Aidan

"We made Fall trees out of paper and sponges to make the background and the trees.  I used all of the colours in the rainbow."  Cale

"We made a beautiful oops.  This is where we draw a squiggle or a line and make it into something.  I turned mine into a stegosaurus!" Hannah

"In math we asked what colours people like.  I had pink, purple, blue, and yellow.  Five people chose blue."  Ciara

"We wrote about pictographs and we picked one thing.  I picked sports and we talked to ten people." Trent

"We played a word game where you have to write a word down three times and the teacher has to write it down six times.  You tap your board when you are done and we get a tallie point." Andrew, Reid, and Evan

"We got a ball and tried to throw it up in the air.  Then we had to run around the gym with the scoop and the ball trying not to let the ball fall out." Kate

"In gym we played with the scoops and balls too and we passed the balls to a partner.  We went back and forth.  It is fun to do that because you get to do it with a partner." Acasia

"We did a math problem, how many letters in my name. I have seven letters in my name." Will

"We made trees using paint and we used sponges and sharpie pens.  We used the texture of the sponge to make the background" Reid

"We wrote down the ways that you can be a writer.  Pictures, a list, and labels." Macca
