Grade 1

  Hello Grade One Families, We have gotten off to a great start this year, and I can't believe we're close to the end of 2023. This month, we will continue to focus on learning long vowel sounds and the consonant-vowel-consonant words. There will be leveled books introduced to the students as they do their Literacy Centers during Guided Reading. It is also encouraged that you continue to read books with your child nightly and use the guide questions given to you to check for understanding of the story read. In Math, we will continue to work on patterns and relations and will begin to do some adding and subtracting to 12. Students will explore from a variety of hands-on activities, math centres, word walls, sorting cards and task cards. In Social Studies, we have been talking about responsibilities and rights in the school and community. We will share ideas and learn that rights are something that someone should be able to have no matter what (food, shelter, safety, love, etc.)
