Grade 1 October Newsletter

For this assignment, I created a Grade 1 October Newsletter that would be sent home to parents. The goal was to explain how I plan to use an aesthetic approach in my classroom, meaning how I will bring creativity, arts, and hands-on experiences into student learning.

In my newsletter, I shared with parents the different projects and themes the students will be working on in October. I explained how I will be combining the Arts Strands — like music, drama, dance, and visual art — into several subject areas, including Language Arts, Math, and Treaty Education, as well as other areas of learning. For example, students might explore patterns in Math through visual art, express their understanding of stories in Language Arts through drama, or learn about respect and community in Treaty Education using music or art projects.

The newsletter was written in a parent-friendly, welcoming way and included important information such as classroom activities, special events, and reminders for the month. I made sure it was both creative and informative, using fun visuals and clear language to help parents feel connected and involved in what their child is learning.
