Community Helper Wall Story

We've been very busy in grade one the past few days.  Here are some learning highlights from our classroom.

In Social Studies, we continue to explore and investigate what makes our community special. We have discovered that  community helpers are very important. Community helpers work hard to keep everyone in our community  happy and safe.

In Language Arts, we continue to work on reading, comprehension and developing our oral language.In October, the learners were introduced to the pattern book Brown Bear, Brown Bear,What Do You See.  The students loved reading this book aloud together as a class.   They were all very engaged with retelling this story.  The learners are now confidently able to retell Eric Carl's Brown Bear story.

We are now working on learning a new story.  We followed the pattern from the Brown Bear Book,  and created our own story called Community Helpers, Community Helpers, What Do You See?  The learners were all actively engaged in learning and retelling our new story.  The learners loved working as a team to create illustrations for our wall story.

We have been reading the story together as a class.  The story is posted on the wall in our classroom to promote daily reading and retelling of this story.  In addition to the students looking more confident as readers, it has also been a great community building activity for our classroom.  Please enjoy some pictures from our Community Helper Wall Story.








Just a friendly reminder, Popcorn Days will be happening on November 28 & 29.
