It was a pleasure to meet with you all and discuss the progress of your children :) We have a wonderful class this year and everyone is working hard to learn all they can in Grade 1.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please email me at tmburch@cbe.ab.ca
Have a wonderful weekend!

**Just a reminder that our Christmas/Winter performance will be on December 11th at 1:30pm.
Week of November 17th - 21st
We said goodbye to a classmate today who is moving to another school and he brought us all gummy bears as a goodbye gift! We'll miss him!
We celebrated Metis week and completed some Metis dot art today - you will all have a chance to see it this week at parent-teacher conferences! Booking opens tomorrow and will run Thursday 3:30 - 7:30 and Friday from 8:00 - 12:00. I look forward to seeing you all - kids are welcome to come as well!
We started to learn how to write "I see" sentences this week and worked on our ability to sound out words phonetically. I was so proud of the kids and their ability to write difficult words. We are working on reading and writing CVC words and have been reading decodable passages.
In math, we are finishing up our number representation unit and are moving onto addition to 10.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Week of November 3rd - 7th
We survived the super moon this week!
We are learning how to represent numbers to 20 in many different ways and have been practicing our tally marks and tens frames.
We celebrated our 30th day of school and Zero the Hero hid 30 pumpkins around the room....he almost fooled us but we managed to find the last one after about 10 minutes of looking.
Just a reminder to dress for the weather - we go outside everyday and I know the snow caught a few of us by surprise on Friday.
We have been doing a lot of great reading in class. I am going to be giving your child a folder for their backpack. When we complete our UFLI decodable passages and our 'roll and read' games, the kids will put them into their folders to bring home to practice. Please have them read to you and practice reading CVC (consonant/vowel/consonant) words. These are words then can sound out easily with a short vowel sound in the middle.
Have a wonderful Fall Break and I'll see you soon at parent - teacher conferences :)
