Our Learning

Math: In math this week we we continued to practice representing and counting numbers to 100. We started learning about the final way we are going to learn to represent numbers, a number line. We discussed how we use clues to figure our where a number should go on a number line. We practiced putting numbers on a big number line as a whole class and we also practiced used a beaded number line to figure out where numbers up to 100 go on a number line! We also started to learn about what it means to add to numbers together and practiced some adding using pictures to help us!

Literacy: This week in writing we continued to work on sounding out words on our own and hearing all the sounds in a word. We are starting to become more confident in our ability to sound out words on our own. We also started to learn about the elements of a story. We learned that all stories have characters, settings, and an event/problem. On Friday read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and started to retell the story.

We were also so excited to start our new school wide literacy groups these last 2 weeks. We get to go work with different teachers to learn about letters, sounds, spelling, reading and more! We are looking forward to getting to do this every day!

Social Studies: In social studies we continued to learn about the difference between urban, suburban and rural communities. We discovered that we live in a suburban community. We also learned that all communities have important Landmarks that can be unique to that community. We explored Southwood on Google maps to find some of the landmarks in our community and found lots of places we recognized, like the library, No Frills, Tim Hortons, and the Dollarama! We are working on creating our own map of our neighbourhood and we can't wait for you to see it at parent teacher conferences next week!

Gym: This week in gym we finally got our final inline skating lesson! We have been so excited to be able to learn how to skate. In just three days our confidence, stamina, and speed have all improved so much! Ms. Tucker is so proud of everyone for not giving up even though it was tough, and it hurt when you fell. You all continued to try and it paid off!!

Important Information!

We practiced identifying the core of patterns and then labeled them with letters.  Writing: In Writing this week we started to focus on improving the quality of our writing, by making sure we are using tools like personal dictionaries and word walls.
