Snapshot

We are continuing to explore the different areas within the classroom. Many friends investigated different materials while building patterns with 2 changing attributes. Some friends sorted natural materials and others built patterns with blocks.  It is interesting to watch and listen to the children interact with each other and with the different materials set out in the classroom.  I'm really enjoying getting to know your child and what sparks their interest. Here is a little snapshot of our learning this week. Enjoy!

Some of the word wall words containers are falling apart. Feel free to use a container from home and decorate it as your new word wall words container. Have fun playing with your words.

 Let's get ready to wonder, explore and discover!

Grade One is an amazing year of wonder, exploration and discovery! It is a magical time for learning.  Our goal is to provide your child with an environment that stimulates, excites and engages them to learn. We will play, discuss, collaborate, share ideas, write, research and discover concepts as a classroom family.  Parent involvement in learning is encouraged and welcomed! We look forward to getting to know you and being part of your child's journey this year!

Welcome Back!!!

Family TreeOur classroom will have a family tree in it that students can look at to remind them of home. If possible, please send a family photo with your child (remember to write their name on the back). These will be returned to you by the end of the school year.

Snacks     Just a reminder that our school is nut free so please do not send any nuts or nut products (i.e. peanut butter) in your child’s lunch or snacks. If you send a snack with WOW butter in it, please put the sticker on so we know exactly what it is.     Your child will have 2 snack times (morning and afternoon) as well as a lunch time. We are trying to encourage healthy eating so, if possible, please send nutritious snacks for your child to eat (i.e. fruits and vegetables).     We would also ask that you not send in treats for your child’s birthday. However, if you feel that you would like to send something on their special day, you could send in a wrapped, age-appropriate book that your child can unwrap, read as a class then donate to the classroom library.

Final Notes     Volunteers are more than welcome at school and in our classroom! If you would like to volunteer, please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set up a convenient time for you to volunteer.
