We count everything!

We started working on our counting skills today! The children practiced counting objects to 10 by first arranging a line of 5...

And then added a second row to make a group of 10.

By learning to 1-1 match when counting, and organizing the items they need to count into familiar groups (10's, 5's and 2's), the children pave the way to building on these skills later on in the year. 

Today we read the story, "Chrysanthemum" by Kevin Henkes. Chrysanthemum had 13 letters in her name. We then decided to find out how many letters we had in our own names. 

Communication is key!

We are all writers!

Today we all received our very own writer's notebook!  We learned how to put the date on our paper, and CSP- ask me what this stands for! (Capitals, spaces and periods). We counted words, sounds in words and wrote two sentences!! Look out Stevenson!  We have some fabulous up and coming writers☺️.

Welcome class of 2016-17!

On the first day of grade 1, we made a promise to ourselves and our friends. We will work hard and try our best to keep this promise all year long!
