I can use a 100 number chart to understand number patterns.
I can count forwards and backwards from different starting points on a number line.
I can count by 5s and 10s.
In Math, students have been developing their number sense through the use of number lines, games, and assignments. One activity involved arranging a number chart in their visual journals, with numbers ranging from 1 to 100 (grade 1) and 1 to 120 (grade 2).
Learning Intensions:
I can identify the subject in a sentence.
I can identify the predicate in a sentence.
I can create complete sentences that make sense.
This week in Literacy, we learned about the subject and the predicate parts of a sentence.
A subject tells who or what the sentence is about.
A predicate tells what the subject is doing or what is happening to it.
To explore this, we sang songs, watched videos, and played games. Students had a great time mixing and matching to create sentences! This hands-on activity helped us understand that sentences require both parts to convey a clear idea.
Learning Intentions:
I can depict and describe landmarks and symbols in my community.
I can depict and describe landmarks and symbols in my city.
I can depict and describe landmarks and symbols in my province.
I can depict and describe landmarks and symbols in my country.
A major Social Studies unit, called My World, has begun! Students are exploring the different geographical locations that they inhabit. It is interesting to note the various identities we hold as citizens, community members, Calgarians, Albertans, and Canadians. Sometimes we are reminded of these shared identities when we watch a ball game from coast to coast. Or we think about how geography can impact us when we drive through mountain and prairie landscapes.
We are continuing to build their vocabulary with terms such as landmarks, symbols and characteristics.
Questions we explored included:
What is a community?
What is a city?
What is a province?
What is a country?
What makes a geographical location distinct?
How to support student learning at home:
Ask your child to recall symbols and landmarks in their community, city and province.
Spelling:
We chose not to proceed with a spelling check this week, as it was Halloween. Please use the following lists to help your child practice their spelling words for next week.
