We started learning about sound in science. We have started conversations about sound  waves and how they travel. The telephone cups were a perfect way for the children to investigate sound. What happens when the string is tight? loose? Why do telephone cups work? What is vibrating?

This activity was so much fun! I have never made telephone cups before and I was amazed how well it worked.

This term in music, the Grade 1 students have been learning rhythms using non-pitched percussion instruments and solfa hand signs. Students have also participated in various music, movement and drama games while learning how to be respectful to one another. 

Zones of Regulation

We had lots of fun playing a game with Mr. Leach! Mr. Leach read a scenario to the class and the students held up a colour square to show how they might be feeling. It was interesting to watch as the kids began to realize sometimes they might feel more than 1 or 2 feelings at a time.

Mrs. D’Agnolo comes in to support Division  11 once a week with our reading. She has been helping us learn how to look at books, think about what we see, and develop & practice reading strategies!

From our Environmental Exchange Box we received a lovely book of nature art.
We then used our imagination to make these pictures into various settings for story workshop.
