Writing: We will be finishing up our persuasive writing pieces and<br />
writing narrative stories.<br />

as learn about time to the hour and half hour, temperature, mass<br />

Home Practice Activities<br />
Read daily! How do the pictures help you understand what you are<br />
reading? Try sounding out the words, letters and sounds that you<br />
know.<br />
Practice asking questions. When reading, have your child wonder<br />
about something they have read<br />
Start talking about time on the hour and half an hour. What time<br />
do we wake up? Have breakfast? Go to bed?<br />
What living things do you have around your home? What would<br />
happen if those things were no longer alive? How do living things<br />
help each other? Why do we need bees?<br />
Grade One Driving Question: How can I be responsible<br />

Important info:<br />
With the weather changing, it is very important that students<br />
have a pair of indoor shoes that are kept at school. They can also<br />
use these shoes for Gym. It is also important that each student<br />
has a change of clothes in case it is needed. Please label these<br />
clothes.<br />
Our room can be very warm. Please ensure your child is dressed<br />
appropriately and has a reusable water bottle to keep hydrated.<br />
We use whiteboards everyday. Donations of whiteboard markers<br />
are appreciated.<br />
Thank you for all your support!——Ms Appleby<br />
