I can explain the Canada Food Guide and choose foods to make a healthy, balanced meal.
I can be active in different ways and explain why exercise is good for my body.
I can take care of my body by practicing good hygiene and healthy daily habits.
I can recognize that people show emotions in different ways.
I can use strategies to manage my feelings and make healthy choices to be my best self.
This week, the Grade 1/2 students explored various healthy habits. We reviewed our 7 Habits of Happy Kids that we started the year with to begin our conversation. Over the week, they learned about healthy eating, physical activity, good hygiene, and how to manage emotions. Through various videos, discussions and hands-on activities such as making hygiene posters and reflecting on their own healthy habits, students were engaged and interested in how they could better take care of themselves. As a reminder, all students have a homework assignment due on Monday where they need to record their eating for one whole day.
Learning Intentions:
I can explain that fractions are parts of a whole.
I can tell you that fractions are parts of a set.
I can describe wholes and halves. (Grade 1)
I can describe fractions up to the tenths. (Grade 2)
I can compare two fractions and tell you which one is greater or less than.
Over the last two weeks, the students have explored fractions through independent tasks, games, hands-on activities, videos, and songs. The grade ones continued to work on wholes and halves and on dividing a shape or set into equal parts. The grade twos explored fractions to the tenths through activities such as the fraction friend they built and analyzed. They ended the week with a check-in to show what they know.
