Learning Goals
Religion: We are learning:
Comprehension Strategies
Math:
Number Sense and Numeration
-Compose and decompose numbers up to 20 in a variety of ways, using concrete materials
-Count forward by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s to 100
- read and print in words whole numbers to ten, using meaningful contexts (e.g., storybooks, posters);
Geometry
– identify and describe common two dimensional shapes (e.g., circles, triangles, rectangles, squares) and sort and classify them by their attributes (e.g., colour; size; texture; number of sides), using concrete materials and pictorial representations (e.g.,“I put all the triangles in one group. Some are long and skinny, and some are short and fat, but they all have three sides.”);
– trace and identify the two-dimensional faces of three-dimensional figures, using concrete models (e.g.,“I can see squares on the cube.”);
This week we would like to highlight some of activities you may to wish to do During Reading.
Purpose:
Does the picture help you?
Can you sound it out?
Can you make a guess?
Skip the word and continue reading. Can you guess what it could be? What would make sense?
Learning Goals
Religion: We are learning:
- that the story of Moses teaches us that God keeps His promises.
- that the story of Moses shows us how God kept His promise and saved His people.
- the first six commandments of God so that we can understand the way God wants us to live.
- the last four commandments so that we can honour God by following all of His commandments.
Comprehension Strategies
- identify a few reading comprehension strategies and use them before, during, and after reading to understand texts, initially with support and direction (e.g., activate prior knowledge by brainstorming about the cover, title page, or topic; describe how they visualize a character or scene in a text; ask questions about information or ideas presented in a text: I wonder if…?, What if…? Why did…?; identify important ideas in a text) Teacher prompt: “What do you think is the most important thing to remember so far about this text/topic? Why do you think it is important?”
- 2.1 write short texts using a few simple forms (e.g., a recount of personally significant experiences; a simple report on topics of interest to the writer and identified in non-fiction reading; “How to”books identifying the steps in a procedure such as “How to Make Applesauce”, including pictures, symbols, and words)
- 2.6 identify elements of their writing that need improvement, including content, organization, and style, using feedback from the teacher and peers Teacher prompts: “Does this writing make sense to you?” “Does it say what you wanted to say?”

This week we would like to highlight some of activities you may to wish to do During Reading.
Purpose:
- For students to read stories at their level
Does the picture help you?
Can you sound it out?
Can you make a guess?
Skip the word and continue reading. Can you guess what it could be? What would make sense?
- If your child makes a guess that is incorrect but fits within the context of the story - tell them it was a great guess and then tell them what the word is.
