Don't forget Student-Led Conferences are tonight from 4pm-7pm.  The following people signed up for tonights slots:

In Jolly Phonics today we learned 3 new word families; osh, ash, ush.
When we learned these word families we came up with the words Dosh, Josh, crash, cash, hush and push.

These are the last of the word families but please continue to review them by either printing up the word family flashcards at https://sites.google.com/a/fmcsd.ab.ca/grade-1/flashcards or by watching the slideshow on YouTube below:

In Language arts today we read the story "Shapes of Stone".  We learned all about how Inuit people make Inukshuks to help lead hunters home from the hunt.  We also talked about how the Inukshuk was a symbol of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

In Science today we continued to learn about Spring.  We watched a National Geographic movie all about the changes that occur in nature when spring comes.

This afternoon we had centres.  The students are getting a lot better at working on centres independently and although we continue to work on volume level they are getting better.

Have a great night and I look forward to seeing you over the next couple of days.
