On Tuesday's we visit the Library. It is a really nice time for us all to have some quiet time and look through the books, read to each other and of course have a read aloud. We love reading here in our class :-)
Maths
We have been collecting data to graph. This week all the students came up with their own questions that they would like to ask their classmates. What's your favourite ice cream flavour? What colour are your eyes? What colour car do you like? Who is your favourite super hero? and many more. Once they had collected their data they had to show the result on a bar graph. They all did a fabulous job!
We also had Maths centres during the week where we rotated around different activities. We used number lines, tens frames, filling in the missing numbers, addition and subtraction and lots more.
We had a great question from our calendar time - 'Pick-A-Problem'. On Friday we had to estimate how many students it would take to get from one end of the classroom to the other. We all had a guess and then lined up to work out the problem. It took 30 Grade Ones!
Interactions
We had a bit of fun creating and expressing the way we can feel. We made play dough expressions and then we had to try and match the same feeling on our own face. We had a great laugh doing this!
Reading
We have been doing guided reading in class and have been enjoying reading books together and talking about what we see in the pictures and what we think the story is about. We also made puppets which we will use for role play. We will post these on your child's individual
Computer Lab
We are very excited to tell you we sent our very own class tweet on Thursday. A very big thank you to Mr. Jon for connecting us with a KG class in Luxembourg. As a class we have our very own twitter account and will be chatting with our friends a lot this year.
The students at ISPP are always very lucky to have special guests visit out school! Last Wednesday, all the students in Elementary were treated to a special performance in the Black Box Theatre by Worldship Orchestra from Japan. They enjoyed listening to the music and even recognised some of the songs. Near the end, one of ISPP's very own teachers, Ms. Natalya, joined in and played the piano. It was amazing!
Our unit of inquiry into 'Interactions' - we have been working toward our central idea - 'Being aware of how we interact with people can help us to make good choices for ourselves and others'.
We have been doing activities where we have to interact and co-operate with each other:
Lastly on Friday we helped Benjamin celebrate his 6th birthday. A very happy Birthday to you Benjamin - we hope you had a fabulous day :-)
