Hello Families, Thanks you so much for joining us for Family Literacy day if you were able to. Here are a few Literacy games you can play at home. We will also be trying these at school too! Literacy Games We have been very busy in our classroom over the last few weeks! We learned about the digraphs th, sh, ch, and wh. We sorted pictures that had each digraph at the beginning of the word or at the end of the word. Students were encouraged to attempt to spell each word as well. We learned about compound words and played the game, I have ___, who has ___ to match up our cards and make compound words together. Amazing writing has been taking place. We read The Colour Monster again. Each student picked an emotion or feeling as well as a colour to go along with it. Each day we added a sentence in our writing to tell about our colour and feeling. We learned about similies and were able to transfer our learning into our writing! Some examples were: Green is a beautiful as an...

Hello Families, I hope you had a fabulous weekend. Here are a few things we got up last week! We reviewed the letters W, Y, Z and Q as well as worked with the vowel team I (ie, igh, y, y_e). There is just one letter left to review. We will be starting up our Words Their Way program shortly! We also worked on writing how writing can be used to communicate meaning by writing out instructions on how to carve a pumpkin using the words first , next, then and last/finally as sentence starters. The students used the 'I can' statements of 'I can use my knowledge of letters and sounds to attempt to spell words.' (Grade 1) OR 'I can capitalize the first word of a sentence and include punctuation at the end of a sentence.' (Grade 2) On Monday we will see if they wrote out the correct steps for us to carve a class pumpkin! We are beginning to understand our Daily LA routine more and more each week. The Listen to Reading station can be quite distracting for other students ...
