September 22nd - September 26th

We settled into our new classroom this week.  Here is a presentation that we made to show you some of the exciting things in our classroom!

We had wonderful weather this week.  We went for a walk and collected leaves.  We then made some wonderful leaf art.  

We watched this video about Terry Fox this week. Our class had a discussion surrounding cancer and some students shared stories about people they knew who had cancer.  On Friday we participated in the Terry Fox walk. Thank you to those who sent toonies for Terry.

This week we started blogging!  We should have some published blogs ready to go next week!  You may notice a few mistakes on our blogs.  You will see our writing getting better and better as the year goes on.  Feel free to leave a comment or questions on any of our blogs!

Next week:
Wednesday October 1st: QSP fundraising assembly at 2:30
Thursday October 2nd: Mr. MacKenzie's 87th birthday assembly at 9:40. ALL WELCOME!
Friday October 3rd: Green and White Day

September 15th - September 19th

On Monday we celebrated Dot Day.  We read the book called The Dot by Peter Reynolds and spent the rest of the day making our mark and creating dots.  We used pastels and made a dot tree. We painted with watercolours.  We coloured dots and used the ColAR Mix app to make them come to life!  We played some Twister.  We also have a smartie candy guess that is still going on right now!

As you may have heard we have moved classrooms.  Our school added a new Kindergarten classroom so they are moving into our room. We have moved to the science room which is on your way to the gym.  Make sure you come check out our new amazing space soon!

Thank you to Mrs.Gilory-Beck who has spent lots of time with our class during this transition!

We have also been learning how to sort our PWIM words.
