Hi Families,
We had a lovely last week of January, celebrating Family Literacy Day with a virtual assembly, and Crazy Hair Day. Our class also earned a special reward from our lunchroom supervisor Ms. Budd after earning 20 Helping Hearts! Next Thursday, February 4th, students will celebrate with a PJ Day and video lunch.
Some of our learning from the week to share with you:
 |
| Applying our knowledge of short vowels, digraphs and blends to create and sort real words and nonsense words using the game Chunks. |
 |
| Working with number lines to model addition and subtraction concepts. Students are working on identifying key vocabulary to solve problems. |
Continuing with our mini lessons around PERSEVERANCE:
