Good Morning Grade 1 Lions, 

Today is the third day of Home Learning. In the Home Learning Packet, today's literacy activity is called "Ending Sound Match Puzzle", the math activity is called "Shape Sort", the writing activity is called "How to Brush Your Teeth", and the math game is called "Egg Head". 

Remember to try and read your levelled books each day, as well as review your sight words and try to complete an activity on your January Reading Bingo sheet. Please make sure you keep track of your books, so you can return them to school when we are back together in person, as these books belong to the school.

Today is not as cold as the last few days, so hopefully you get a chance to go outside and get some fresh air!

Keep up your hard work and have a great day :) 

Happy New Year!

Welcome back to at Home Learning. We have put together a Home Learning Packet for all students which are ready to be picked up at your earliest convience any day Monday-Friday between 8:30-3:00. If you are not able to pick up your packet you can send an email to barbara.schofield@nbed.nb.ca or alanna.hallihan@nbed.nb.ca and we will do our best to get your packet to you. We have included worksheets/activites and games in your packet, some of the games require dice, if you do not have dice at home you can simply write numbers 1-6 on piece of paper and randomly pick a number. 

Today in your packet you will be working on Week 1, Day 1. We understand that a Home Learning Environment is not ideal for eveyone. Do your best to complete what you can and return all completed work with your child when we return to at school learning. 

Mrs. Comeau has uploaded last year's Rembrance Day Ceremony onto her Teacher Page. Please take the time to watch it with your child. 

It is very important that students continue to read daily. We have attached instructions on how to login to Epic Books below, which will allow students to read books every day. There is a catch, this program is only available to students until 3pm. Books have been assigned to your child at their reading level and you will notice that some books have a quiz at the end to check their comprehension. If there is not a quiz at the end of the book, then you could ask your child some comprehension questions (see sample comprehension questions in the front of your child's yellow literacy duotang that was sent home in September). 

If you do not have the supplies (pencil, crayons, scissors, glue, technology etc) at home to complete any of the assigned tasks on our teach page or  in your Grade 1 Home Learning Package, please email Ms. Hallihan or Mrs. Schofield and we will be sure to get the necessary supplies to you.
