Mrs. Page's Grade 1 Class

Here are our current Learning Goals.  We are learning to do all of these things!

Please join us on Thursday October 4, to learn more about our school and the Grade 1 curriculum.  Please enter the school through the front doors and proceed to Gym A.  You will first hear from Mr. Jeff Crane, our Principal, and then will come to visit our classroom afterwards.  We hope you can make it, but if not, I will send home all the information with your child.

On Friday September 28, students and staff across the TDSB will come together and wear Orange Shirts to recognize the harm that the Residential School System did to First Nations, Métis and Inuit children and to recognize that every child matters. "Orange Shirt Day is a movement that officially began in 2013 but in reality it began in 1973 when six year old Phyllis Webstad entered the St. Joseph Mission Residential School, outside of Williams Lake, BC. The date, September 30, was chosen because that was the time of the year the trucks and buses would enter the communities to “collect” the children and deliver them to their harsh new reality of cultural assimilation... The impact of residential schools affects every Canadian." (Bob Joseph, Working Effectively with Indigenous Peoples, 2015)

Tomorrow is Green and Gold spirit day!  Show your spirit for Thorncliffe by wearing green, gold and/or yellow.

In math, we are learning how to represent numbers. We are using base tens, ten frames and other materials. See our pictures below and practise at home!

We collected some beautiful stones to decorate for use in the classroom. We added tissue paper, glitter and a special shape with our name. We loved decorating rocks!

We have built some cool things this week in class.  Check them out!

Here are the expectations that we decided on as a class: Be Respectful, Do Your Best Work and Help Our Community. Please see our ideas below.

Hello and welcome to Room 155! My name is Mrs. Page and I will be your teacher this year. I can’t wait to meet you all in a few days!  I hope you had a wonderful summer and I look forward to getting to know all my students and their families.  From, Mrs. Page
