Hello families,

Thank you all for joining your child for student-led conferences on March 10th and 11th to celebrate the amazing work they are doing in Grade 1! 

Photo Day

Tuesday, March 15th is Photo Day at Lake Bonavista School. Grades 1-6 will be taking class photos.

Lifetouch Photographers are following all of the safety guidelines. We respect the individual decisions of staff and students to wear masks. Please connect with your child's teacher with any information that will support us on picture day in regards to wearing masks. If you do not want your child to participate in class photos, please contact your child's teacher.

Word Study

During our Daily Language Arts rotations each student has been practicing mapping words with play-dough, building words with the Montessori movable alphabet and writing words with a whiteboard marker. Some of the Grade 1 students continue to work with CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words while other students are working on diagraphs (sh, th, wh) or blends (sl, gl, st, gr, sk).

    

Math Games

Each week we play math games in our Grade 1 classroom. Today we played a card game called 'Greatest Sum.' Ask your child how to play and maybe they can teach you at home!
