We Are All Unique

This week, students listened to the story "The Crayon Box That Talked", and participated in a lesson surrounding the theme in the book...we are all unique, but all an important part of our classroom community.

It is now our bulletin board, reminding us of this important fact every day!!

We also did some problems solving using pattern blocks this week, and challenged ourselves to create the same shape using different amounts of blocks.

Please send in donations for the Shamattawa First Nation next week. This community is fly in only, and their only grocery store was burnt in a fire. We are collecting non-perishable food items, as well as cash. Items most needed are for the smallest members of the community, and include items such as diapers and wipes.  Thank you so much for your anticipated support!!

DATES FOR NEXT WEEK:

Early dismissal at 3:10 on Tuesday

What a Week!

It was a busy week in Room 12! We spent time getting to know one another, building our stamina for read to self, learning the morning routine and creating some art!  

In Math we are working on patterns, as well as representing numbers. Over the next few weeks we will also be doing problem solving, and getting started on math stations. We will also begin our Science and Social Studies units in the upcoming days.

Welcome Back!

A new school year is upon us, and I am so excited to meet the new students, as well as say hello to those returning to Room 12!

I hope everyone had a relaxing summer, and was able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather we had.

I plan to post classroom news and updates here weekly, as well as on our Instagram account. If you aren't following us already, please look up room12sb and follow us so you can see what we are up to and comment on the things we are thinking and learning about. As well I plan to keep families up-to-date through Remind (please sign up! Let me know if you need help to do this) and our agendas, which will go back and forth between home and school daily.

If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
