Animals in Winter Art

Here is a sneak preview of our animals in winter art work which will be on display when you come for conferences.

Pink Shirt Day February 26th (Tomorrow)

To acknowledge Auburn Bay School’s participation in Pink Shirt Day tomorrow, February 26, and to continue the fight against bullying, students and staff will be encouraged to wear something pink. Pink became the color for standing up to bullying when two students in Nova Scotia stood up to bullying in their high school.  A student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school and these students showed their support for him by buying pink shirts and encouraging other students to wear them. 

Thank you for helping us to create an environment that is safe and supportive. Together we can make a difference.

Winter Research

We have been researching about what animals do in the winter. Now we are going to use our research to write a good copy about our topic.

Find and Fix

We have been practicing the Find and Fix thinking strategy using the 100s chart. Can you find the 5 mistakes and fix them? Tell me why you think what you think.

Always, Sometimes, Never

We use the thinking routine Always, Sometimes or Never to explain our thinking in math.

For each example, tell whether is is Always True, Sometimes True or Never True and why you think what you think.

Valentines at School

Some families have been asking about Valentine's card exchange in the classroom. For those students who wish to give cards, we will exchange cards on February 12th.  Please make sure your child has enough cards for the 46 students in our classroom.  There is no need to write a name in the “TO” space on each card, but rather, have your child simply sign their name in the “FROM” space.

Beakerhead Building Project

The entire grade 1 team has been collaborating to design and build catapults to launch paint pom poms at a target. We entered our Poms Away art project in the Beakerhead science competition. Check out the video that showcases our learning.
