(Review) word of the day: resume

We were lucky enough to watch Phoebe feeding her babies this morning! We were able to clearly see food and/or pollen on Mom's bill and were quite amazed at how far down her babies' throats she seems to insert the food! The babies are usually ready to leave the nest after about a month, so the day-to-day changes will be pretty amazing; we'll be checking in often on our feathered California friends!

We've been learning about suffixes and contractions in Grade One Language Arts. Ask your child to give an example of a suffix word - or ask them to show you the pupil contraction trick we tried in class.

Skip counting to 100 by 2's, 5's, and 10's should be pretty secure by now. As well, Grade One students are getting better at identifying and counting coins and at recognising the "o'clocks" of a clock. Any at-home reinforcement of these math concepts will help your child retain and extend their math skills!
