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.

With the snow day on Monday the week was shortened, and I guess so was my memory! Here are the spelling words for the week: bed, wet, prod, duck, neck, clock, lick, so, my, backpack.

A cold start to the week!
Spelling words for the week are as follows: hop, fit, grin, buzz, cross, less, miss, go, no, classroom. We'll have our spelling test, as usual, in Friday morning. Keep practicing each night, and read over the sight word list as well. You never know, there might be a sentence on the spelling test, too!
Speeches are due to be heard next week, so please have them prepared and practiced and send them with your child next Monday. We will do classroom presentations during the first three days next week.
Remember to dress warmly - we didn't go out today, but hopefully will be able to the rest of the week. Hats, mitts, snow pants, and boots are a necessity.

snow in the forecast!
Good Monday morning!
Here are the spelling words for my Grade One class this week - ox, run, from, will, bell, doll, skull, there, they, windmill. The first sheet of homework is a new grouop of sight words. Please go over these with your child each night as well as doing spelling words. They do not need to spell the sight words, just read them.
Book orders that came home Friday with my homeroom are due on Wednesday, Jan 16.
Have a great week! Hope we see you all EVERY day ( no more snow days!!!)

Happy New Year!
Well, we're back at it full force - it' just like we were never away. A change of date you might want to think about - in the start-of-year newsletter, May 26 was given as a day off for students. This has been changed to May 20th.
Spelling words for this week are: red, win, drum, off, cliff, stiff, cuff, said, here, puffin. The test will be on Friday. In math this month, we will be studying and makiing patterns of all sorts. You may want to ask your child if they can identify any patterns throughout your house (ie wallpaper, stripes on towels, etc). This all helps them be more aware of the things around them.
Have a great "January thaw" week!
