November 23, 2015

Hello families and friends,

This morning we continued our morning literacy work with Read to Self, Read to Someone, and Work on Writing. Ask your child what they have been working on. Then in math all of the groups we continued work on our addition/subtraction strategies. The students have practiced one more and one less, two more and two less, fact families, doubles, and doubles plus one. Over the next little while we will also be looking at: doubles minus one and doubles plus/minus two; making ten; counting on; counting back; and thinking addition for subtraction.

Our words of the week for this week are "as", "by", "go", and "so" for grade ones, and "read", "what", "laugh", and "buy" for grade twos. Write a sentence in the comments below that uses at least 3 of the words of the week. In gym, the students continued playing two different types of floor hockey. At the end of the day we talked about responsibilities we have and what they would have had in the past. Ask your child what they came up with. What is the difference between a right and a responsibility?

This Wednesday morning we will be having a Little Spirit Bear presentation.

Thank you to those of you who are continuing to post their donations for Families Helping Families onto the blog. A reminder that all wrapped donations are due in to your child's teacher by next Thursday, December 3rd.

Next Thursday evening and Friday are parent teacher interviews. Booking is open online and can be accessed through the Cranston School website. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Have a great evening!

    Right is following the law.
