Once again today we used leaves to expand our learning. Today we created these leaf pictures. We mixed up a little bit of math, science and art and came out with these!

Does it look right, sound right, does it make sense?
Every day, from the very first day of grade 1, we have been learning about a letter of the alphabet. We learn how to print each letter, we brainstorm words that begin with that letter, we listen and print where we hear the letter in a word (at the beginning or at the end), we learn how to stretch the sounds in words (c-a-t, f-a-s-t), and learn how to check our printing/spelling to see if it looks right, sounds right, and makes sense. We can't wait to be expert readers, writers, and spellers!
Fall Leaves in Fall Colours
We have been learning about all of the changes we see in the Fall. The children are fascinated with all of the beautiful colours of the leaves at this time of year. To create this project, we used black glue and watercolour paints. The student had to first trace leaves. Then, outline the leaves using the black glue. This made the colours pop off the page. We examined leaves and discussed the colours leaves are in the fall. We then filled in our leaves using water colour paint. The children did a wonderful job and were super proud of themselves!

Learning Math through playing games
This week we will be learning a series of math games in preparation for math stations next week. Our math games all help us work on the following skills: number recognition, subitizing, counting on, more and less, even and odd, and 1-1 matching. Who knew math could be do fun? The very best thing about these games, is that they all can be played at home! Make sure to ask your child how to play!
