Snowy Week

Well, we made it through the first week back!  It was a productive week.  Everyone settled right back into routine and we accomplished a lot.

Check out our snowmen on the front bulletin board.  We used a mixture of shaving cream and glue to create a puffy texture, and then wrote about our snowman creations.









We  did a comparison study of Goldilocks and the Three Bears to Jan Brett's The Three Snow Bears.  We made story sequence maps for each story as well.



Grade 1s are working hard at using addition and subtraction symbols and language to describe math sentences.

Grade 2s are working at using the hundred chart in a variety of ways to solve math problems.  Please see the games at the following links for extra practice.

Here are some pictures from our Word Work this week.  Students were practicing alphabet skills, and spelling words in a variety of ways.





The reading incentive for the month is calling "Reading Up a Storm".  Outside our classroom door we trying to create a true Winnipeg White Out using snowballs.  Each day your child reads they get to add a snowball.

Today you will notice some extra papers coming home in the homework folder.  We cleaned out some old stacks in the classroom and sent home items that we no longer need at school.
