Spelling words

This is our last set of words for this year! These are a few words that are often mis-spelled in our daily work and a very important word I left off of our Christmas list! I will introduce them on Monday, December 11th and test them on Friday, December 15th.

Jesus, use, said, where, were, here

Grade One Quote of the day!

This moment was so sweet that I just had to share!

Grade One student: “Oh, no, I just cut off one of Baby Jesus’ ears. Don’t worry, he can still hear a little bit.”

Highroad Helps

We are doing a few community helping events as we move into our Christmas holidays. Here are some practical ways you can help our community of Chilliwack. Students can bring the items to the classroom.

Rain Guage

We are learning about the Water Cycle in Science. We have been learning about clouds, precipitation and weather diagnostic tools. We created a rain guage in class on Thursday afternoon and put it out in the school garden. Over the weekend we collected 3.5cm of rain w

Christmas Spelling Words

Next week we are going to be working on Christmas Spelling words. I know they are challenging for the Grade Ones so although they will practice all ten, I will only test them on the first five. I will give them the option because I think some of them will enjoy the challenge. I will introduce them on Monday, December4th and test them on Friday, December 8th.

Christmas, angel, shepherd, wisemen, camel, donkey, star, Mary, Joseph, present

Christmas Decorating Party

Oh, it’s a busy season! On to othe nxt fun thing! On Friday, December 1, we are having a classroom decorating party from 10:30-12:00. Don’t forget that it is a half day with noon pick up!  Thank you to the parents who are coming in to do Art with us and those that are sending Christmas treats!

Soup Making

Thank you to the parents who came in to help us this morning and the parents who sent supplies. The students were super excited to be ine

the kitchen. I got side tracked in the happy chaos of chopping and pouring and forgot to take kitchen photos, but I did get a few of the kids slurping up the soup!

There was quite alot left over so I am taking it home to add onions, spices and other adult flavours and then one of our staff members who volunteers with Cyrus Centre will be taking it there to feed the teens for lunch.
