Math: In math this week we finished up our big Valentine's math review booklet! In this booklet we practiced skills that we haven't learned all throughout the year, including representing numbers to 100, counting by 5's and 10's and adding numbers up to 20. We also celebrated the 100th Day of School! It was so exciting to realize how much we have learned in these first 100 day's of school. To celebrate we did a scavenger hunt with Ms. Vanderwel's class in the library. We had to answer many types of math problems that all had something to do with the number 100.


Writing: We are SO excited to have started to write our very own first story every! As a class we read The Three Billy Goats Gruff and now we are twisting this fairy to rewrite it in our own unique way. This week we wrote the beginnings of our stories and are looking forward to finishing our stories next week.

Science: We have started to look into computer science and energy. To introduce the idea of instructions and the importance of the sequence of instructions. To begin understanding this we practiced some computer coding using the online program called Codespark.

   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.

This week we wrote about sunflowers and prairie crocuses.  Science:  In science this week we started to learn about the parts of different plants.

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...

   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 learned that sentences include 3 very important things: an uppercase at the beginning, finger spaces, and end punctuation. 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...
