This week, we had our Terry Fox run! We were so lucky to have amazing weather for it. Capitol Hill used popsicle sticks to keep track of our laps. As a school, we would've helped Terry run from Thunder Bay to Medicine Hat. Everyone was very generous in our class. Our goal was to raise $40. We ended up raising $129.05!!! We will hear how much the whole school raised next week. We are so proud of the generosity in our classroom and we would like to send a huge thank you to all of our families for being so supportive of this great cause! 




Before our run, we watched an inspirational video about Terry Fox. We wrote about how he is a hero. 

 








In science, we have been learning about transparent, translucent and opaque objects! We have used light tables, flashlights, paint and have built sculptures to explore these different objects. Please ask me to show you things that are transparent, translucent and opaque.










Have a great weekend!

Terry Fox Run

Hello Parents,

This Thursday, October 26, we will have our Terry Fox Run! Students are encouraged to bring a Toonie on that day to donate. 

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Welcome to Room 8's Blog!

Welcome to our Grade 1/2 blog. This is where you will find useful information about school events, as well as artifacts and pictures from our weekly learning. We will also post our weekly grade 1 and grade 2 spelling lists. 

We have had a fabulous start to the school year. Everyone has settled in nicely and is trying their best to complete a variety of learning tasks, which includes building, reading, writing, drawing and painting. 

Students worked in pairs to use natural objects to create all of the letters in the alphabet for our class word wall! They used sticks for straight lines and beans and pine cones for curvy lines. We will use this word wall all year to help us with our writing. 

Class mosaic - The grade 1/2's collaborated and cooperated to paint a mosaic for our classroom. We painted a variety of lines to create this beautiful piece of art! 

In science, we are learning all about creating colour! To start off the unit, students worked independently and in groups to identify colors in a variety of natural and manufactured objects to create sculptures. Next, we will look at the difference between colors that are transparent and opaque.




We have also participated in sharing circles where we have talked about building positive relationships and identifying and regulating our many emotions, which we will continue throughout the rest of the school year. 

I'm thrilled to be spending the school year with Room 8 and we look forward to sharing all of the learning from our class with all of our families. Stay tuned for our weekly post every Friday. 

Sincerely, 

Miss. Caughey and the students in Room 8 :)
