LANGUAGE ARTS

LISTENING GAMES I read the book, A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle to 1C this week. Our phonological awareness activities were focused around the book this week. This classic and favourite with all children of an underwater journey of a hermit crab who shows us not to be afraid to grow up. As he begins to outgrow his shell, he's scared, but finds friends along the way that make him feel better and help him decorate his new marine environment. 
WORDS THEIR WAY Throughout the week, the students reviewed the reviewed the -all, -ill, -ell word families with words such as ball, tall, pill, hill, bell, tell.  

WRITING AND READING 1C wrote sensory poems about the season of summer and shared their poems with the rest of the class. 






















The wrote an acrostic poem about their fathers for Father's Day. They were so lovely and thought out. I loved reading them!

MATH

1C learned about the term length and mass. They measured things around the room using different objects such as paper clips and linking cubes. They also learned how to measure length around something such as an arm with string and paper clips.








 Time to measure the TEACHER!



































In our expolaration of mass. The students measure and estimated various sclassroom objects using scales. They used estimation when trying to see how many linking cubes it would take to match the same weight as an object such as a stapler. They determined items that were lighter and heavier. 








Next week, we will be working with area and capacity.

SCIENCE

This week we learned about three out six types of animals: amphibians, reptiles and mammals. The students created a frog using guided drawing, designed a snake using oil pastels and coloured a fox. Next week, we will finish up with insects, birds, and fish. Awesome work 1C!

MESSAGE FROM MS. STAROSTECKI If you have not already done so, please send a pair of headphones for your child. 1C will be learning how to use Chromebooks on Wednesday. The headphones will be kept in a safe place in the classroom. The students need to have headphones while they are using the Chromebooks. Also, on the inside cover of your child's agenda you will also notice a green strip of paper. This paper contains your child's log in information for Mathletics.

Ms. Starostecki needs to learn her way around Devon. There were a lot of laughs during the walk especially when they started to chant, "Hotdogs, hotdogs, we all scream for hotdogs!" We tracked how many steps we took during the walk and we made about 13 000 steps! Wow!  We needed a little break... Earlier this week, Grade 1C took part in a Bus Safety program. They learned about the rules of the bus, the emergency exits on the bus, and how to be safe around a bus. Congratulations to our Student of the Week! We are so lucky to have you in our class.
