Hello Grade One Families!
Last week, the children learned about Vincent Van Gogh. They learned about Van Gogh’s technique of using colours to communicate feelings and ideas. The Grade One’s made their very own paintings, choosing colours that depicted their feelings! We also had our final UFLI lesson in our digraph unit and next week we will be moving onto our VCe unit. Vowel-consonant-e (VCe) is a spelling pattern in which a silent e at the end of a word signals a change from the short vowel sound to a long vowel sound (e.g., kit → kite). The lessons in this unit are designed to develop students’ skills for reading with words that contain the VCe pattern. The children will also be learning all about St. Paul, as we gear up for our Feast Day on Thursday, January 25th. We look forward to seeing many of you there!
