This Past Week:

In Physical Education this week, students have been learning about the sport of curling. They have learned how the terms stone or rock, house, button and hurry are used within the sport. Students have also been working together in small teams to perfect their rock throwing skills. 




"Blocks, art materials, and story play are a few of the many ways that children explore and represent what they know about the world. Through active engagement with multimodal literacies and with the support of teachers to scaffold their learning, children are able to solve problems, create and test theories, and express ideas, thoughts and feelings."
-2019 Flight Framework Document


We may play together, we may play alone but the key is that we play!









Remembrance Day; Thank you to our families for attending our Remembrance Day Ceremony and donating items to the Food Bank.



We will remember. Making a community poppy!


Letter Learning


To explore alphabet learning, students have examined letters within a significant word. For the past few weeks, we have taken the time to explore the letters within the word "Family." 

Using poetry, letter sorts, printing practice, building letters with manipulatives, singing songs and engaging in letter scavenger hunts, students have developed a strong understanding of the each letter. To culminate our learning, students created a thoughtful journal page about their family.





Math 

In math, we continued to look at sorting and counting. To tie in our inquiry about why leaves change colour, students sorted three types of leaves; Aspen, Crab Apple and Caragana. Students then counted how many they had of each type of leaf and wrote the numeral beside.
