Grade 1 Updates

Dear Grade One students and families,

I hope everyone has had a nice March Break and maybe caught
a leprechaun or two on St. Patrick’s Day!

I am well at home with my family, but I miss being in the
classroom with you. Hopefully you have been spending time
with your families, getting lots of fresh air and reading
lots of books. Remember “feeding your brain” every day
is super important!  


While you are at home, I am asking that you spend time completing
some Math, Reading and Writing activities.

Homework sheet - WWW # 23 (click on the link and print if you wish, students can also use lined paper to complete the sheet :)

Tips for the parents:
  • Set up a daily routine  
  • Have a good balance of educational screen time, one on one time,
  • working on sheets, outdoor activities, play time/games and family activities
  • Create a space for work and for relaxation

Math Ideas:
  • Practise recognizing numbers to 100
  • Practise counting by 1’s, 2’s,  5’s and 10’s to 100
  • Practise printing numbers to 50 (no reversals:)
  • Practise adding doubles (2+2, 3+3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jOzhiACB68
  • Practise addition/subtraction to 20, solve problems involving addition/subtraction
  • Find 2-D and 3-D shapes around the house, describe “How are they different?”
  • Make a picture using 2-D shapes (make your own shapes or the printed sheet from the website)
  • Make a city, a farm, a school, a park, a castle or other design using any 3-D shapes (blocks, Lego)

Reading Ideas:
  •  Read any book of your choice
  •  Read with your stuffy
  •  Review WWW
  •  Play WWW games
  • Make connections (personal connections, text-to text connection)

Writing Ideas:
  • After you make a 2-D picture shape, write about it (title, 1 opening
  • sentence, 1-3 describing sentences and 1 closing sentence)
  • After you make a 3-D design (Lego, blocks, loose parts), write about it
  • Journal Ideas
  • Write a story about your day (first, then, next)
  • Predict what is going to happen next in your book
  • Write an alternate ending to your book
