Hello Room 8 families!

**Reminder: Please bring back your child's yellow 'My Cultural Heritage' page.** If you did not receive one or need a new one please email Mrs. Melindy.

What have we been up to in Grade 1? Well...


We have been practicing painting tints by mixing colours with white and painting shades by mixing colours with black.

We have  been working on how to represent numbers using pictures, tens frames, tally marks, dice, and number bonds.

We have learned more about the letters Pp, Uu, Oo, Mm, Xx, Aa, Dd and Tt. Ask your child what actions goes along with each letter sound!

We have taken a pause in our First Montessori Great Lesson to think about the question 'How did water form on the earth?' Some of our hypothesis include: 

- "The lava from the volcanoes cooled and turned into water."
- "The clouds made rain and that is where the water came from."
- "A rock fell from the sky and water came out of it."
- "The sun was so hot that the sweat came out of it and that's where water came from."
- "The water first formed on the earth by coming out of the dirt."

Very interesting scientific observations indeed!


 Important Dates:

October 14th - Crazy Hair Day
October 15th - Walking Field Trip
October 18th - No School
October 21st - Pajama Day
October 29th - Halloween Celebration at school

Take care and stay safe, 

Mrs. Amber Melindy
