Hi Friends!!

It was great to be able to touch base with so many of you this week!  I am so sorry I missed chatting with some of you!

I've been busy at home being Ms. Li and Mommy!  I have a new appreciation for our dayhome ladies who have my monkeys!  Who knew your own kids need you every second! lol...

Please feel free to send me pictures of what has been happening at home! I would love to see your creations or your learning space or anything!

We are in the process of getting everything planned out and ready for you, so please be patient with us!

If you have questions or concerns, please send me an email.

We will have our first official GOOGLE MEET session tomorrow (Friday, April 3 at 11:00am) I have sent invitations to the parents' emails and to the student _______@educbe.ca emails.

it should be a fairly simple process to click, login and say hello!!

Remember: once you've logged in, please mute your mic before you join our chat session! 

See you tomorrow!

Hi Grade One Families,

Please keep an eye out for an email from me this afternoon outlining some of the next steps for learning adventures. I will also be phoning students over the next couple of days to check in and respond to any questions from the email. You need to know that you are missed at school but we are really excited about what lies ahead for us, and we will be sharing details with you through this coming week.

Missing you all!!! 

Stay healthy and safe!!!

Just a few reminders:

TOMORROW: Friday, March 13 is Dress up as your Favourite book/character!  It is also the last day to bring in used book to donate to the sale next week!  Bring them in!

We talked about staying healthy and safe today.  We stressed that washing our hands and washing them well is a good start!  If your child is not feeling well, please keep them at home to get lots of rest!

As part of our Science Inquiry on the 5 Senses, our Grade One students are learning how to sign O Canada using American Sign Language.  Mrs. P, one of our Educational Assistants who is deaf has been teaching us!  We are so lucky to have her in our school! 
Here is also a link to a video we will also use to practice our song:

STOP..... DROP... and READ!!!!

Next week, as part of the Read-A-Thon fundraiser we will be stopping to read when announced!  Your child can bring in their favourite book to read during these times!  Please make sure your child's name is clearly written in their book!






If Ms Li has 2 cheeseburgers from McDonald's and Mr Shayler buys 4 more, how many do they have all together?  Math is REAL LIFE!!  We need to know how to manipulate our numbers and operations to make sense of the real world!  Keep practicing addition and subtraction equations! 

What do Mr. Potato head and our 5 senses have in common?  We share the same sensory organs!!! 

Go on a nature walk this weekend and use your 5 senses to experience our Natural world!

Practice using the sentence starter for each of the 5 senses:
I use my _______________ to ____________________......
(I use my eyes to see....)






Have a safe and fun weekend everyone!!!  Please stay safe... watch the ice!!!  Ms. Li will be resting on the couch this weekend....
