My son and I were doing step by step drawings today.  We had fun and this was my result.  A great resource for this is Art Hub for kids.  Stay safe and take care.  Mrs Schulz :-)

Hello CJP families, Please see in the schedule below the pick-up times for you to pick-up your child’s personal belongings and return library and home reading materials. We have divided the pick-up times into several sessions to assist with social distancing. We respectfully request that only  ONE  parent enter the school to reduce the number of people visiting the building. We recommend that children stay home as this will likely be a difficult time for them to remain a safe distance away from peers and friends, however, this remains a parent decision as we are not allowed to restrict student access to the building for belonging pick-up.   Please bring a backpack or shopping bag as most children have many items that will need to be taken home.  Please do  NOT  take the bin holding your child’s items .  All lost and found items will also be in the gym. If your child has  medication  stored at school, please check in with th...

Edit: Your child's story with the rubric will be included in their folder for pick up on Wednesday (see other blog post for information on pick up) Our first stories are coming home Monday! What great authors we have in room 3! Children will be happy to share their story with family! See previous blog post on story writing showing our development of character, setting, problems, attempts to solve the problem and endings that we used as a guide and steps for writing our stories. Please review the rubric of your child's self assessment (in highlighter) and Ms. McCullough's assessment (in pink check marks) and by comment.  You may take a photo of the assessment then please sign and return the rubric. The story is yours to keep and enjoy!

Double Trouble You’ll Need 1 die Paper What to Do On a piece of paper, each player must create a grid that’s five squares long and four squares high. In each box, players randomly write an even number from two to 12. Player one rolls the die, and all players must figure out the resulting number’s double. Players put an X in one of the squares on their grid that includes that number. The game continues until the first player completes a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally and calls out, “Double Trouble!” For a more challenging variation, play with two dice and create a grid that includes the even numbers from four to 24.

Math Grade Ones This week we continued to look at addition strategies.   The strategy that we focussed on was the doubles strategy.   Knowing doubles leads to students being able to use the doubles strategy for addition to master facts such as 6+7 (6+6+1).  It also will help with future math concepts such as the 2x tables in multiplication and fractions. Here are some questions you can ask your child to reinforce their learning:  What is the strategy called when you are adding the same number together?  How do you use a double to add 5 + 6? What are examples of doubles in real life? Here are some to get you started. 1+1 (eyes) 2+2 (dog's legs) 3+3 (soda) 4+4 (spider's legs) 5+5 (hands) 6+6 (eggs) 7+7 (calendar) 8+8 (crayon box) 9+9 (18 wheeler truck) Please practice doubles at home with your child.  (1+1, 2+2, 3+3...up to 9+9) using dice, playing cards, or flashcards.   You can also check out the Doubles Tro...
