Our Week:

Wellness: Ask your child about the Zones of Regulation. We have looked at the green and blue zones so far and have talked about emotions connected with those zones. Both classes created thought prints in their visual journals to explore these ideas. 

Math: Mrs. Pelton's grade 1 group continues to practice skip counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's. Ask your child about the tens frame game "Twenty" we played this week. The students were asked to state the number they placed on the tens frame board as well as find out how many more they needed to make twenty.

Ms. Disher's grade 2 group continues to skip count by using coins. They  worked on counting by 10's from 100 to 200 and counting by 25's from 25 to 200. They also played different place value games to reinforce understanding. 

Writing: Both classes read the book The Skull, written by Jon Klassen. The students wrote about what their favourite part was from the book and why. We are continuing to work on the important parts of writing a sentence: capitals at the beginning, finger spaces between words, and periods at the ending. They are encouraged to stretch out the sounds of a word when trying to write words.

Reading: Ask your child about their focus during our morning literacy groups and the Read to Self routine we practice daily.
