Happy Friday Grade 1 Families,

We hope you have had a great week! Here are some of our exciting highlights of our week together:

-"In math, we are learning about shapes. Yesterday we made shapes with tape and blocks. There was lots of different shapes. Some were hard and some were easy". Reid

-"For T.W.A.S. we had to find 4 different shapes in our classroom. We had to draw, label and colour them. At home we have to do the same thing, find DIFFERENT shapes". Kate

-"In the Stem challenge. We had to try and make a tower out toothpicks, plasticine and straws. We built the Bow tower". Reggie

-"In Music, we are learning about rain. We were trying to see how we could make the instruments sound like rain. We even used the drums, floor and the xylophones". Lucas

-"In the stem challenge, Riley and me made the Calgary tower. It did not turn out so well, it was drooping a little, but it was still fun". Avery

-"For Math, we had to colour the shapes and count the sides. So 4, 5, 6 and 8 had different colours. The circles were tricky because they have no sides". Cooper

-"We drew a picture of the Earth, waves for the ocean, mountains for the land. We did this for in our Visual journals for Earth day. It was a lot of fun. Andrew

-In journals, we were writing about ways we can help the Earth. One of mine was pick up garbages and cans. Another way to help the Earth do not put garbage in the Lakes or the Ocean". Lily H

-"In writing we wrote about why Mrs. Pulfer is special. In Kindergarten she gave me an ice pack when I got a bump on my forehead". Acasia

-"In fire writing this week, I wrote about my pet hamster. His name is Teddy. This was my first week at my new school, I like that all the teachers are nice". Sophie
