 Our Day: 

  • Mrs. Bowles' and Mr. Kai's classes went on a coulee walk! We read "My Map Book" by Sara Fanelli and drew our own maps of the coulee as we explored the area. 
  • Mrs. Campbell's class did a similar mapping activity for the school playground and compound. 
  • We then ended the day with a read-aloud and Gratitude Circle. Ask your child what they are grateful for!

Our morning went by very quickly.  Each group doing their literacy and math.  In Mr. Kai's and Mrs. Bowles' groups they continue to work on their final drafts of their personal choice of Walking Stories.  We are working on the revising and polishing components of the writing process. In math we are all working on representing numbers to 20 (required for grade one) and to 100.  We are learning this concept through estimating, games and Math Talk activities.  You can play the game at home with smaller objects.   Long piece of spaghetti  can be used as a ten rod and macaroni pieces can be used as one units. ...

 Happy Thursday Peace Group Learners and Families This is my first official blog after returning to Eric Harvie School full-time.   My apologies for missing the blog yesterday. Transitions can be a challenge. Today was a packed day full of learning for all of the Peace Group.  All of the students continue to work on developing their writing. We are all working on "Walking Stories" these are stories that are about themselves. We have focused on our memories.  A "Walking Story's" main character is the student. It is all about a person, place or thing that your child knows a lot about.  We have been using a variety of planning techniques. The students are also learning how to revise their writing by adding "Triple Scoop" words, interesting details and looking at using our "No Excuse" word lists for editing. Math has been exciting and engaging for the students.  Mr. Kai and Mrs. Bowles' group continue their work on graphing.  Today we looked ...
