Teacher Notes for the Week
Ms. Myers Grade One Class:
We look forward to a short but busy week in Grade 1! As part of our health and physical education curriculum, we will focus on the importance of proper hand washing. Using resources from Ottawa Public Health, the children will review the procedure for proper hand washing and the “Glitterbug” will help us find out if our hands are truly clean or not! This is an essential habit for the children to practice, especially as we enter cold and flu season. A reminder that library and home reading books are due every Wednesday. Thank you for taking the time to read with your child each night using books from school or those you may have at home. On Friday, October 16, we will celebrate our Thanksgiving Mass at 9:00 a.m. at St. Anthony Church. You are welcome to attend!
Ms. Drapers Grade Two Class
The grade 2 class prepared for Thanksgiving by discussing what we are truly thankful for. We enjoyed singing a Thank you song, making a hand printed turkey and an edible turkey! We will continue practicing songs for our Thanksgiving mass and preparing for our first mass of the year on Friday October 16th at 9:00 am. Please join us at St. Anthony Church.
We are busy counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s in our Math unit on Numbers. Students used old calendars to create number lines, find numbers and to practice skip counting. We will continue counting and grouping items into 10’s to help us count!
We enjoyed our Read-a-Loud called “The Thing I Saw Last Night.” We were able to make many personal connections to this story! Students love the opportunity to share their own personal connections with the class! Many great storytellers in Grade 2!!
Library Day will return next Monday. Gym days on Wednesday and Friday. Happy Thanksgiving to all of our St Anthony School Community!
Mrs. Rupnik’s Primary Language Class
Welcome back from the Thanksgiving long weekend. I hope you enjoyed some family time together. Did you have an opportunity to try out Raz-Kids at home yet? A note was sent home last Thursday with personal login information and passwords. It is a wonderful tool because it helps children improve recognition of word wall words, enhance oral reading skills, comprehension, etc. This week, I will begin showing the children how ‘think-marks’ work. ‘Think-marks’ involves stopping while reading and thinking about the story on a deeper level. Students will learn to use post-it notes and record their thinking when reading with the assistance of myself and our wonderful volunteers. This allows us to talk about our thinking and to better understand the stories we read. Our Thanksgiving mass is scheduled forFriday, October 16, 2015 at 9:00am. If you are available, please join us for this special celebration at St. Anthony Parish.
Manzoli Stars……. This week
Hoping all families had an enjoyable Thanksgiving Weekend. As we enter in this short week we look forward to another swimming lesson on Wednesday. Don’t forget your bathing suit and towel.
We will be also having our first Thanksgiving Mass on Friday October 16 at 9:00. Some students will be bringing home their part of the mass to practice.
Homework folders: students are bringing in their homework in pieces, please remind your child to have their homework completed and placed in folders provided. We will be having our second word quiz this Friday and some children have not returned their notebook. Having responsibility of their belongings is something crucial for proper learning to happen.
We are also consolidating our number sense unit with a quiz on Friday. Children should be able to:
- represent numbers to 1000 (Gr. 3) 10,000 (Gr.4)
- represent place value of ones, tens, hundreds, thousand
- write numbers in expanded form
- identifying greater/less numbers ( symbols < >)
- round numbers to nearest ten and hundred
In language we are still working on “Listening to Read”. We will begin using RAZ KIds an online reading program.
Have a great week!
