Our Learning January 8th- January 12th

  Our Learning

We were so excited to be back at school this week despite the cold temperatures!

Math: In math this week we reviewed adding to 10 using number lines, blocks, and counters to remind our brains of what we learned before the holiday break. Then we started trying to add numbers all the way up to 20! It is definitely harder adding bigger numbers, but it is also more exciting! 

Writing: In writing this week we learned about writing letters. We learned that letters were one of the main ways people used to communicate over long distances before phones and technology were invented. We wrote letters to Miss. Tucker to tell her what we did over the break and then we got to write a letter to a friend in the class! We are still working hard on including spaces and periods in our sentences! We also learned about how to dress for the cold and wrote about what WE wear when we dress for the cold.
Science: In Science this week continued our investigation into matter. We reviewed that one of the properties of matter is that things have a measurable length and then learned about how things also have a measurable weight. We got to use a scale to measure things around the classroom including ourselves! On Thursday we learned that can act upon something to change it properties and effect its length or width. We did an experiment to see how many different ways we could change the length of a piece of paper to make it shorter.
Gym:  In gym this week we got together with Mrs. Vanderwel's class to do some parachute activities in gym. We learned so many fun games including popcorn, sharks in the water, and categories!

Important Dates: 

January 15- PD day 

January 23- Parent Council

   Our Learning Math:  In math this week we started revisiting patterns! We coloured and created 2 and 3 element patterns and learned that the "core" of a pattern is the part that repeats over and and over again. 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. We are also learned how to go back and edit our work to fix mistakes with the help of a teacher. We are learning and writing about different types of flowers. This week we wrote about sunflowers and prairie crocuses.  Science:  In science this week we started to learn about the parts of different plants. We drew a picture of a flower and labeled it's parts. On Tuesday we learned about the parts of a tree. First we recreated the layers and parts of a tree with outrselves.

   Our Learning Math:  In math this week we started to learn our numbers all the way up to 100!!! We practiced counting by 1's and 10's and started by making our own 100 chart to help up to know what each number looks like. Our favourite thing in math this week was playing BINGO! It helped us to recognize what numerals all the way up to 100 looked like.                                                            Literacy:  In writing this week we learned about the difference between a letter, a word and a sentence.

We got to practice writing sentences for the first time and we wrote about Halloween animals like bats, and cats. We even did some research about them befo...

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 star...
