Language:
We continue to work on sequencing and story writing this week. The students practiced writing detail about a character, how stories have a beginning middle and end, as well as a setting. When we have been working on writing the students have been goal setting, each day they choose which writing goal they would like to focus on to become better writer.

Math: We finished up some of our 2D and 3D shape prtactice at the beginning of the week. We started our grade one math review. We have been practicing basic facts for addition and subtraction to 5 as well as identifying number sequences to 100. What number come before, between and after is still sometimes tricky for the kiddos so we did some math games to become more fluent at identifying.

Science: We finished up looking at the needs of plants this week. We planted our beans yesterday, the kids were so excited to plant them. There is a few still hanging in our window in hopes that they will be a bit more successful in growing before sending home. We did a scavenger outside looking at different plants in the schoolyard. We also did an experiment with celery and food coloring to further understand the needs of plants. Next week we will start looking at animals

Social: We had the most hilarious conversation at the beginning of the week when I was showing them black and white photos. It was very confusing to them that black and white photos didn't mean that the world itself didn't have color. We looked at clothing in the past versus today, transportation as well as toys. It was quite funny to watch their reactions as I went down the list of all their toys that didn't exist in the past. Fort Edmonton Park next week will be so much fun.

Thanks for taking the time to read, Only 19 more days of grade one.
