Learning Intentions:
I can explain that even numbers include numbers ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8.I can explain that even numbers include numbers ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9.
I understand that pairing numbers makes it easier to tell if a number is odd or even.
I can use both odd and even numbers to help build my number sense.
In Math, students have been learning about odd and even numbers to expand their understanding of mathematical concepts. In the book “Even Steven and Odd Todd”, these two fictional cousins helped us learn about odd and even numbers. We also watched videos and did fun activities (such as finding all the numbered butterfly pictures) to reinforce the concept of odds and evens. This is an important stepping stone to understanding the structure of the number system, rules of arithmetic, and logical reasoning.
I can follow and create step-by-step instructions.
I can test and debug instructions.
I can use sequencing and repetition.
I can identify winter weather conditions (snow, ice, frost, cold, wind).
I can use investigation to observe, record and observe changes.
In Science, we combined the themes of Computer Science and Winter Changes in a fun and engaging way. Throughout the week we explored the changes that happen in winter, how both people and animals adapt to these changes, while learning about creating and testing instructions. This interactive unit included hands-on activities like testing instructions using Ozobots, mapping, sequencing and recording data. To complement this unit, stories such as “Froggy Gets Dressed” and National Geographic’s “How Animals Survive in Winter” were enjoyed.
I can identify rhyming words in a poem.
I can identify repetition in poetry and recite lines back.
I understand that stanzas help organize ideas in poems.
I can make inferences about the author’s message.
In Literacy, our theme was Snowy Book Studies. This
unit combines poems and stories such as “All You Need for a Snowman”, “A Chubby
Little Snowman”, “Snow is Falling” and “The Biggest Snowman Ever”. Lastly, we
finished the unit with Snowman Art and an Acrostic poem.
At home, use cards or dice to reinforce your child’s
understanding of odd and even numbers.
Grade 1 - practice and notice words with wh, th and ch.
Grade 2 - practice and notice words with ai, ay and ea that make a long "a" sound.
