Learning Intentions:
- I
can find and represent halves.
- I
can identify if parts are equal.
- I
can make and name unit fractions.
- I
can compare fractions.
- I
can build one whole.
- I can identify the numerator and denominator.
In Math this week, students started a unit on Fractions. Grade 2 students are learning to recognize and read fractions including halves, thirds, fourths, fifths and sixths. Grade 1 is learning about halves and dividing things into equal parts.
Learning
Intentions:
- I understand that communities can be our school, our neighbourhood and our city.
- I can describe that communities have members that play different roles.
- I understand that we need both helpers and leaders in communities.
- I understand that in a team everyone has a job to do.
- I understand that working together helps us solve problems in communities.
· In Social Studies this week, we explored the unit called “Working Together”. Topics in this unit included: communities, roles and responsibilities, leaders and helpers, teams, and why we need rules. We learned about how we belong to more than one community (For example: TRS, Montgomery, Calgary). Students recognized that whether they are in our classroom, playground or lunchroom… rules help keep us safe. During our cup stacking activity, students assumed the roles of leaders and helpers. Working in groups of 4 to 5 students, the leader needed to guide their teams to work together and get the task done.

Learning at Home
Math: Students
can use food or playdough to divide things into equal parts
Literacy: Help sort words with the “bossy R” in words with ar, ir, er, or and ur. When you are reading together, point out words with these letter combinations.
Please remind
students not to bring toys or treasures from home to school. They can easily
get lost or damaged.
Your child’s
minds and bodies are growing rapidly at this age. Please try to pack enough
food for lunch, a morning snack and an afternoon snack.
