Families, please remember that tomorrow is Crazy Hair Day! We started off our last week before the Winter Break learning how to retell stories. Students learned how to retell a story with the beginning, middle, or end. Students read the story, "Night Tree" and used their knowledge of the beginning, middle, and end of the story to retell it using key parts. In math, grade one students began searching for patterns within their environment. They learned that many things are patterns, even postal codes. Students are able to identify a variety of patterns, identify cores and terms within a patterns, change a pattern, and identify how and when patterns repeat. Students used different symbols to change postal codes into identifiable patterns. They gave "L" to letters and "N" to numbers to see that, in fact, postal codes are patterns! For example: T3G 1G6 = LNLNLN Grade twos learned how to predict pattern terms today. They learned that predications are guesses that use information provided. Students use their prediction skills to extend patterns. By looking at the last term provided, students can predict later terms in the pattern. For example: This pattern has a total of 11 terms. We want to predict the 14th term. To get to the 14th term, we need 3 additional terms added on to this pattern. The last term provided is a whit heart, if we look at the first white heart in the pattern, we can count three terms after that to predict the 14th term, meaning the 14th term will be a white square...see below: Students can practice making predictions with the below patterns: Finally, with the help of our AMAZING volunteers, our grade 1 and 2s were able to help bake and decorate cookies with their grade 6 buddies! Each student was given a cookie to decorate and they practiced their measurement skills by helping to bake the cookies, too. It was such a great way to wrap up our day.
