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

Welcome Back! We hope that you all had a wonderful and restful Spring Break! Below are a few highlights from our week:
"In the STEM challenge we made a Lego boat and we could put one penny on it and if it floated we could put two! There were challenges for putting weights on it too. My boat was three pieces with a white piece on top and I could put three pennies on it. I had to make it a little stronger so that it could carry more." Cooper
"This week we made birdhouses. My birdhouse on the front I used purple and a mish mash of colours that was on the plate! Here is a fun fact. I had to use some orange from a different table and I put a star on it." Elliott
"In TWAS we did how to make a birdhouse and it was you had to sort to see if you had all the pieces. The second step you had to glue on the squares and the back. Then you had to put the front on the squares. You also had to put the roof on and then you had to put the stick on the top. Then you had to put an elastic around it and paint it. I painted a rainbow bird and dots and lots of colours!" Kate
"This week in gym we played tennis and we learned different ways to hit the ball." Ciara
"In the STEM challenge we built a boat. Me and my buddy built a boat that needed to be on top of the water. It was really hard because when we put two pennies on it held, but when we put another one it didn't" Lucas
"In our visual journals we drew a bluejay. It took a long time to do it. We watched a video about how to draw it. We drew a robin too." Bentley
Thank you so much to all of the volunteers who helped us with our birdhouses!! We appreciate you so much and feel extremely lucky to be a part of such an involved and caring community! We also wanted to thank parent council for providing the funding for those in class experiences for our students. :)
