Hello everyone!
We have had a busy day preparing for our Spring Concert. We had rehearsal time, and a dress rehearsal where we performed for the grade 4, 5, and 6 students. We had lots of questions about how the performance this evening will work, so let's share with you as well! We can come into the school around 5:30 and go straight to our class. We met Mr. Shackleton today because he is going to be in our classroom for this evening because Ms. Byrne has a prior commitment. Our concert will start at 6. When the performance is done, we will return to our classroom. You can pick us up there - just make sure we let Mr. Shackleton know before we leave so that he knows where everyone is!
We've also been busy tending to our seeds! Every one of us had at least 1 seed that had started to sprout. It was cool to see how some sprouts were little, some had grown lots of roots, others had even started to to grow a leaf! We talked about how our sprouts needed soil to grow big and strong. The soil helps give the sprout the nutrients it needs, as well as something for the roots to grow into to help our plant get strong. We are excited to see if our plants will start to spring up through the soil! Once we had put our sprouts into the soil, we covered them, then watered them, and placed them by the window to get sunlight.
In literacy this week we have been continuing our work with "making connections." See if we can make connections to stories we are reading at home as well! We've also been revisiting our letter sounds and completing assessments to see if everyone is able to remember the double-letter sounds we've been working on.
In math we are working on a problem solving unit to end our grade 1 year! We're starting with a game called Mystery Pattern! We get clues 1 at a time and try to guess what type of pattern would match the clues. We will use these skills to help us solve some mystery number puzzles, as well as addition and subtraction problems!
Because of all the rehearsal and dress rehearsal times, we decided to wait to finish our perfect pet projects until Friday so that we could spend some time on them and get everything done at once!
