We spent our last afternoon before the holidays playing virtual Bingo throughout the school!
Wishing everyone a healthy and happy holiday!
ADST Project~ How To Catch An Elf
Today we used our craft items and recycled materials to build elf traps inspired by the story…
..
The children worked together in small groups to think, problem solve and create together! They had fun and came up with some fun and festive ideas!
Class Charter
This term, our class has been working together to get to know each other and to build our classroom community. One aspect of this is our classroom charter. The children discussed how they want to feel at school and brainstormed ways to achieve this as a group. We also brainstormed strategies to use when problems arise. These are what the students agreed upon as a group. We will continue to reflect upon our class charter throughout the school year.
Halloween Artwork…
We have been engaged in some spooky artwork recently. We have also been working on following directed drawings to create detailed pieces of art! First we completed a silhouette painting and then a zombie drawing! Our students are incredible artists and put so much effort into their work! Their art has been Spooktacular!
Pumpkin Patch Surprise
As we could not visit the Pumpkin Patch this year, we decided to bring the Pumpkin Patch to school! We had a beautiful morning to explore the Pumpkin Patch and each child spent time searching for their perfect Pumpkin!
We later spent time estimating, measuring and painting our pumpkins too! Check out your child’s blogfolio for a glimpse of their experience and work!
Goodbye to our Tree!
Yesterday we started our Adopt-a-tree program. Each student chose and named a tree, followed by some observations and drawings. Today we arrived at school to find one of the trees in front of the school was being cut down. It was Conor’s adopted tree named Tilily!
The district employee allowed us to come outside to see what Tilily looked like inside. We talked about the difference between a healthy tree and a dead tree, and shared our observations. Rob, the district arborist, even cut each student a “tree cookie” as a memento! We enjoyed watching them cut the trunk and branches into smaller pieces and get hauled away. All that’s left of Tilily now is a hole and wood shavings. We had a mini “Funeral” for few moments upstairs where we said thank you to the tree for its air-cleaning, shade, branches and beauty.
We then learned how to “read” our tree cookies and examined and identified the outer bark, phloem, cambium, sapwood, growth rings and heartwood. Lots of great discussions around seasons of growth and beetle damage too.
Such a neat opportunity!
Reading in the Park
We are taking advantage of the beautiful weather and doing more things outside! Yesterday we spent our Silent Reading time on the swings!
All About Me!
We are spending some time getting to know each other! We created Camp T-shirts and drew our masked and unmasked selves!
Welcome to Division 7!
We are happy to welcome back all of the kids to school and are excited to have them join us in “Camp Robo”!
We welcomed the children the first week with a special bulletin board to let them know how special they all are!
Global Play Day
We had a fun afternoon engaged in PLAY! We played board games, cards, made crafts, played with stuffies and Lego, chatted and laughed with classmates!
