Social Studies
In Social Studies and through our literacy time we have been building our understanding of “Belonging”. Specifically, we have looked at one special community that we belong to, our FAMILY! Through reading stories, viewing short videos, discussions, and sharing, grade ones have added to their understanding of our FAMILY community. This idea of family has guided our work in literacy social studies and art. Please take a look below to see all of our good learning.

During our focused literacy lessons this week we have been learning about one of the sounds that “C” and "U" make. This week we concluded our lessons on learning C says “k”. The following are some home practice that your child may do to solidify their understanding of this tricky sound.
We have now completed focused literacy lessons for the following sounds:
a m s t p f i n o c d u
Just like counting, continued review and practice of letter sounds and making words help to solidify them into automatic skills in both reading and writing.
