Peace has been at the forefront of our recent lessons.  Students created Pieces of Peace Poppies (thank you, Eugene, for the title of our project) by tearing and ripping apart a variety of colours of red paper to create the poppies on our door.  Students worked together with kindness and care, through the chaos and shredding of paper, to gain an understanding that there are times when things seem torn apart but together we can find beauty in the moment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After reading the book, I Am Peace by Susan Verde, Division 10 students shared their thoughts on what peace is to them.  Please check out the classroom window to see their thoughts displayed.

The Peace Pledge was the poem of the week.  Students shared a recorded version of this over the P.A.

During our number sentences to the date routine, we have mixed things up a bit by not only working with “We’re on a roll with Math!” but we have also accessed personal white boards to create our number sentences.  We continue to encourage, “Math Is Fun!”

 

 

 

 

 

Our visual art lessons have taken us on a journey through the Aesthetic Window of the elements of design.  Students have been working with LINE.  Inspired by the book, The Dot, by Peter H. Reynolds, students created their own art gallery of art featuring LINE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ms. Hossack read a Diwali fiction story to us on Wednesday.  It did share many elements of the celebration of light and we lit Diyas in our class today.  We shared information on the P.A. about the traditions and meaning behind Diwali and many of Division 10 students were eager to share their knowledge of their cultural festival.

Special thanks to families for supporting students in Division 10 with math flight practice, word list activity sheets and word quiz preparation.  Linking what we do in class with activities at home really makes a difference.  It has also been a pleasure to see students arriving on time and also being dressed for the weather.  Much appreciated.

Have a lovely, peaceful, long weekend full of light and love.
