Welcome to Room 1!

I am so happy to meet my Room 1 classroom family! In the month of September, we focused on getting to know each other through community building activities, classroom games, and sharing circles. We spent time establishing our routines and creating our classroom expectations. We are off to a great start, and we will continue practicing our routines and building our stamina for learning.

In English Language Arts, we have been working on writing proper sentences. We created a checklist of all the things a proper sentence needs and we work on remembering all our capitals and punctuation. In Math, we have been focused on skip counting by 2s, 3s, 5s, and 10s. We have also been learning to recognize and identify patterns on a hundreds chart. In Science and Social Studies, we have started our first unit: Living in Canada: Our Land, Our Communities, and Our Structures. So far, we have been learning about citizens and how they contribute to and support our communities. We have also created maps of our classroom and our school. In October, we will expand our mapping skills by learning about what the map of Canada looks like. We have also begun exploring materials and structures and learning about the people who help design and build structures in our communities. As we continue through this theme, students will learn more about how structures are designed and built, why different materials are chosen for specific purposes, and what makes a structure strong and stable. Students will also have the opportunity to design and build their own structures!

For the month of October, our Language Arts theme will focus on Fall, Thanksgiving, and Halloween! To further enhance reading, writing, and comprehension skills Multi-Level Literacy Instruction and Guided Reading sessions will begin this month.

It’s been a wonderful start to the year, and we can’t wait to see how much more we will grow together this month.
