Hello families!

We have been learning different ways to remember our "b's" from our "d's"! This is one way that we've been practicing.


We have been reading "The Littlest Yak" this week. We learned about the littlest yak, Gertie, who has been wanting to be big like the rest of her herd. She wishes and hopes for this to happen, and then something happens where her herd needs her SMALLNESS to solve a problem! We have been writing about a time that we wished we were bigger. Ask me what I drew and wrote about!







We went to the Makerspace to continue learning about following directions! We've been having a lot of fun with the Code Mice and Codapillars. Ask me what materials I used today!




We have been playing a game where we "code" a monster to get to the candy. One partner takes their turn to create the game board and the other uses arrows to get the monster to the candy!




IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATES

January 30 – Online Report Cards available through your MyCBE parent account

January 31 – 6:00 – School Council Meeting at NLS

February 1 – Winter Walk Day

Thursday, June 27th  is our school-wide PLAY DAY and EARLY DISMISSAL! As we will be outside, students should dress for the weather, bring a water bottle, and come with sunscreen already applied (teachers cannot help with this task). We will be celebrating Play Day by having Freezies! If you do not want your child to have a school-provided Freezie on this day, please email me as soon as possible and send an alternative treat to school for your child to enjoy. We will be finished school this day at 1:05 p.m. as it is an early dismissal day! Our theme for Play Day this year is... Dress like a SUPERHERO!

 Our learning in English Language Arts & Literature: We learned how to read words with the suffix -le this week! These are words like turtle, humble, and apple! We continued researching rabbits. This week we focused on the rabbit's habitat and predators, and sketched the parts of a rabbit with labels! Our learning in Math: We started learning about subtraction this week! We learned about how to put the bigger number first and how to use different strategies to help us solve the questions. Our learning in Science: We started learning about the needs of plants and animals this week!  We focused on what are living things and non-living things are and how to sort them. This started some really interesting conversations! We began germinating pea seeds to see how they grow. We looked at the parts of a sunflower, labelled important parts of the plant, and learned why these parts are important! We went outside with magnifying glasses to explore nature!
