Week 17
A MESSAGE FROM MS. STAROSTECKI...
Skating Week will run from January 21-25 and February 11-14. Each grade will have a half an hour time slot on the ice. The permission form can be completed on Powerschool and it provides permission for both of the skating weeks. Please read the information sheet I have provided in the email.
I would love some parent volunteers for Skating Week, especially for tying up skates. The faster we lace them up the more time the students will have on the ice. Parents are more than welcome to join 1C on the ice and skate. Please let me know if you are able to help me out at the rink!

READING This week, 1C is learned a new reading strategy: Flip the Dolphin. While they are reading the students are practicing the Eagle Eye, Lips the Fish and Stretchy Snake, Chunky Monkey, Flip the Dolphin strategy. Eagle Eye serves as a reminder to look at the pictures for clues when reading a book. Lips the Fish looks at the beginning and ending sound of a word. Stretchy Snake reminds the students to "S-T-R-E-T-C-H" it out and to say each sound slowly then say it fast. Chunky Monkey breaks a word into chunks that the student's already know. Flip the Dolphin flip the vowel sound, try the long and short vowel sounds.
WORDS THEIR WAY This week, the students learned two new word families: -ag and -ap. They created and moved through stations that explored these two word families.

SCIENCE
Students learned about the terms opaque and transparent. An opaque colour occurs when no light passes through an object so that you are unable to see through it. Examples include: a wall, a human, a desk, a book, etc.
A transparent colour occurs when light passes through an object so you are able to see through it. Examples include: window, glass jar, some water bottles, classroom bins, etc.
Lastly, 1C learned the difference between manufactured colours and natural colours.
