We started learning about vowel teams today! These are when two vowels are side-by-side in a word to make one sound. Today we learned about "ai" that says "a" in words.

Our writing this week will be focused on the book, "The Circle of Caring and Sharing."


We brainstormed about problems and how they make us feel.


We worked on our literacy centres.


We learned more about the number two and started learning about strategies for adding numbers.





We started learning about the Seven Sacred Teachings today! This is what we saw, thought, and wondered.



We played Guess the Beat in music!

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!
