October 2nd - 6th

Hi everyone! Sorry this is late...I must have had Turkey on the brain! 

We had a wonderful week in Grade 1! 

Our dance residency came to an end with an amazing performance on Friday - Thank you to all who came to see it in person:) The kids had a lot of fun with this. 

In Science, we are wrapping up our Fall unit and moving onto learning about Matter. We have introduced that matter comes in 3 states: solid, liquid and gas. 

We continue to work on our reading skills and are playing with rhyming, syllables, and identifying the first letter in a CVC word (ex. cat - first letter sound is /k/ and it is a C).

Our field trip to Storybook Theater is coming up in a couple of weeks - Thanks to those who have volunteer clearances. Our room parent is organizing who is attending. We may need to borrow some of you for our neighbouring grade 1 class as they don't have enough parents with volunteer clearance. 

In math, we have introduced tally marks and 10-frames and we have some fun playing some math games this week. 

**Reminder that it's PICTURE DAY on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11th

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and I'll see you all on Tuesday!
