We have been continuing work on building our reading stamina, and the students are doing a really good job with it! Each class has been working on this on their own, and we will be spending more time working together as a whole group on this to see how we do. We have also worked on a couple experiments involving mixing colours. Ask your child about what they learned from these, and what they have learned about what a scientist's job is.
In math, we have been working on different ways to represent, or show, numbers. We have talked a large variety including: addition; subtraction; pictures; number; words; letters; ten frames; number lines; tally marks; patterns; and shapes. This is something that the students will be working on throughout the year in many ways, and is a great way for them to show their understanding of number concepts. At the end of the day we had a special visit from Ms. Kinsman and Ms. Tuli. Ask your child what they did with them.
This Friday, weather permitting, we will be going on our community walk. We have heard back from a few parents who have volunteered to help us out on our walk, but we are still looking for 5 or 6 more. If you are available this Friday from between 10:15 and around 11:30 and would like to help out, please email Mr. Soulliere at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>. This is a good learning opportunity for the students and is a great way for them to get to know their community a little better.
Milk Program order forms have gone home. These are due back to your child's teacher by Wednesday, September 23rd.
Tomorrow is the first day of Running Club. For those students participating, the students will run first, and then they will eat lunch with Ms. Bowles and the rest of the Running Club team afterwards. Please make sure that your child is wearing appropriate footwear for running and that they are dressed for the weather.
Have a wonderful Wednesday,
Mr. Soulliere and the Harmony 1/2 Triad
