Learning Intentions:

• I can tell you about the Canada Food Guide
• I know how to make a balanced meal
• I know that exercise/physical activity is important for my body
• I know different ways that I like to be active
• I know how to take care of my body
• I know how good hygiene helps me to stay healthy
• I know that emotions can look different on other people
• I know ways to help me manage my emotions
• I can practice healthy habits to help me be a better version of me

This week, the Grade 1/2 students explored various healthy habits. We reviewed our 7 Habits of Happy Kids that we started the year with to begin our conversation. Over the week, they learned about healthy eating, physical activity, good hygiene, and how to manage emotions. Through various videos, discussions and hands on activities such as making hygiene posters and reflecting on their own healthy habits, students were engaged and interested in how they could better take care of themselves. As a reminder, all students have a homework assignment due on Monday where they need to record their eating for one whole day. 

Learning Intentions: 

• I can tell you that fractions are parts of a whole
• I can tell you that fractions are parts of a set
• I can describe wholes and halves (Grade 1)
• I can describe fractions up to the tenths (Grade 2)
• I can compare two fractions and tell you which one was greater or less than

Over the last two weeks, the students have been exploring fractions through independent tasks, games, hands-on activities, videos, and songs. The grade ones continued to explore wholes and halves and being able to divide a shape or set into equal parts. The grade twos explored fractions to the tenths through activities such as the fraction friend they built and analyzed. They ended the week with a check-in to show what they know. 

Supporting Your Child at Home:

Math: Students can use food or playdough to divide things into equal parts.

Literacy: Help sort words with digraphs in words with th, ch, sh. When you are reading together, point out words with these letter combinations.

Spelling: We will not have spelling next week as it is a short week. There will be a small change to our spelling coming up. Stay tuned!
