 Learning Outcomes:

• I can use a 100 number chart to understand number patterns.
• I can count forwards and backwards from different starting points on a number line.
• I can count by 5s and 10s.

In Math, students have been continuing to develop their number sense through number lines, games, and assignments. We continue to practice counting to 100 by 10s and 5s to build quicker recall. Please continue this work at home! The students have also enjoy a number talk called "Guess My Number." A student will pick the mystery number and the other students have to ask questions to help solve the mystery. Students are excited to be the leader and answer questions from their peers such as "Is your number even or odd?" "Is your number in the 4s column?"

Learning Outcomes:

• I can identify the subject in a sentence.
• I can identify the predicate in a sentence.
• I can create complete sentences that make sense.

This week in Literacy, the students learned about the subject and the predicate parts of a sentence. A subject tells who or what the sentence is about (ex. Ms. Axford) A predicate tells what the subject is doing or what is happening (is writing the blog!). To explore this, we sang songs, watched videos, and played games. Students had a great time mixing and matching throughout various activities to create sentences!

Learning Outcomes:

• I can depict and describe landmarks and symbols in my community.
• I can depict and describe landmarks and symbols in my city.
• I can depict and describe landmarks and symbols in my province.
• I can depict and describe landmarks and symbols in my country.

A major Social Studies unit, called My World, has begun! Students are exploring the different geographical locations that they inhabit. It is interesting how many identities we have as citizens as community members, Calgarians, Albertans and Canadians. Sometimes we are reminded of these shared identities when we watch a ball game from coast to coast. Or, we think about how geography can impact us when we drive through mountain and prairie landscapes. 

We are continuing to build their vocabulary with terms such as landmarks, symbols and characteristics. 

Questions we explored included:

What is a community?

What is a city?

What is a province?

What is a country?

What makes a geographical location distinct?

Supporting Your Students At Home

• Have students practice skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s. They can also practice counting backwards and forwards to 100.
• Ask your child to recall symbols and landmarks in their community, city and province. 
• Spelling - Students completed their weekly spelling test on Friday. They brought home a new set of words to practice. Please continue to support your child with this work at home.
