Patterning

We have been learning about patterning!  Our goals in Grade 1 are to be able to make a pattern, make a pattern longer, translate a pattern (change it to a different form) and to know what the core of a pattern is (the chunk that happens over and over).  Let's try it with the patterns below!

Our Alphabet Song

We learned all the letters and sounds in the alphabet. We have special actions for each letter. Watch our video and you can see the actions! Knowing our letters and sounds helps us to learn how to read and write.

Fire Safety Week

In Health, we learned about fire safety. We learned that we need to find two ways out of every room in case of a fire. Please consider having a fire drill at home and planning a meeting place for your family.  There are some fun games and activities related to fire safety at www.sparky.org.

Different Kinds of Smart

We have been learning about the different kinds of smart.  These are based on Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences.  We all have smooth roads (strengths) and bumpy roads (challenges) and we will be learning and working together to get better in all our kinds of smart!  Ask your child what kind of smart they are and to explain what it means.  What kind of smart are you?
