We are authors!

One of the big pleasures of teaching Grade One is seeing the children become readers and writers. We have completed our Story Unit and the stories are delightful. I have created a Writing Portfolio for each child so you can see their progression! It will be coming home soon!

Our Last Spelling List

It is hard to believe that another year is coming to a close, but the days are quickly slipping away. Here are the words for our last Grade One Spelling List. Thank you for practicing Spelling with your students this year!

yard, low, other, men, apple, well, late, that, them, white

Greenhouse Fundraiser

We are excited for our Greenhouse Fundraiser on Friday! We will have basketball games to watch as well as some interactive skills challenges for the younger ones between games. There will be pizza for sale as well as concession treats! Due to this even being outside of school hours, all students Grade 6 and under must either be accompanied by an adult or by a sibling/family friend Grade 9 or older. We hope to see you and your family there!

We had a great time baking cookies this morning! A great big thank you to the parents who sent cookie dough to school. Also, a big shout out to the first parent volunteer that I have had in my classroom in three years! The kids will be bringing some cookies home and we will be sending the extras to Cyrus Centre to bless the teens in our community who could really use the love!
