The grade 1s and 2s have had a pretty busy week! We spent most of this morning with some
WONDERFUL volunteers peeling and slicing apples. A HUGE thank you to Hugo’s Mom, Helene and
Leonie’s Mom, Rhys’s Dad, Parker’s Nanny and Alex’s Mom who gave up their
mornings to help us out.
We are continuing our Unit on Liquids. Today we raced them to see which ones would
be the fastest. We learned that the
really dense liquids moved very slowly (yogurt, soap and paint).
In gym we’ve begun our unit on Volleyball! We are using soft pink balls so that no one
gets hurt. So far we’ve worked on
volleyball stance, volleying and bumping.
The focus has been getting the ball up and moving forward. Many of us have elephant swings where we hit
the ball backwards over our heads.
Our writing focus has been on Thanksgiving. We are working on taking a special word and
building an interesting sentence around it. For example “turkey” My family found the perfect plump turkey and
served it with fluffy stuffing.
Some students have been working on Mathletics while others
have cut and pasted pictures to extend patterns. Our next Unit in Math will be sorting
objects.
Here are some pictures from the week!
that is very cool. Ana
