Hi - I just realized that I didn't get a blog done this week - my apologies!
Spelling words for the week are: cod, lot, snap, bone, nose, home, globe, live, give, tadpole.
Now that 100 Day is over, we are busy working on skills in adding and subtracting, as well as identifying numbers from 1 to 100. We use place value, meaning ones and tens (i.e. 48 has 4 tens and 8 ones -- or 40 + 8).
Keep up the hard work - see you after the break!

winter blahs??
Hello - another mixed-up week, thanks to the weather!
Spelling words for the week are as follows: ran, hat, scar, came, grape, name, cake, only, old, baseball. The emphasis is on words with the long a sound, made by the "magic" e jumping over the consonant to make the a say it's own name.
Friday is "bring your favourite toy" to school day. Please remember, however, that electronics of any sort are not allowed at school. We find this an easier way to make sure they aren't lost or taken....if that type of toy stays at home they are safer.
Another change - due to the number of snow days we have had, Monday, February 18th will be a regular school day. Sorry if this causes any inconvenience, but we really need our days in class to cover all the work we need to do this year.

Welcome February!
Well, the groundhog didn't see his shadow at my house on Saturday, so I'm predicting an early Spring - hope hope!!!
Spelling words for this week are: sad, let, trip, blue, orange, gray, black, one, by colour.
We are well on our way to each Grade One student having a balloon on the door depicting 50 books read. Congratulations to those of you who have read 100, 150, and even 200! Keep on reading!
Speech semi-finals were this morning, and everyone did a wonderful job! It takes a lot to stand up on that stage and speak before your peers and all those adults, too. Congratulations to the students going on to the finals, which will be held Wednesday night at 6pm in the Great Hall.
