Buddies

This week we worked with our Gr. 4/5 buddies to build a structure using 10 tile squares and 6 popsicle sticks. This is an open ended activity that encourages higher level thinking. The students were prompted with questions like: How can you build your structure higher? How can you make it strong enough to hold a wood peg person? Here are some of the designs.

Read to Self

Every week the students choose new books to add to their “book boxes”. We work towards reading quietly throughout the week. We practice looking for words we know, reading the “pictures”, and sounding out unknown words.

Kindergarten Math

The K students have been learning about different Canadian coins. Ask them about the symbols on the coins!

Here is a photo of the K’s representing numbers on 10 frames during our group activity.

Bucket Filling

Over the past few weeks, the students have been working on “filling each others buckets” with kind words and acts of kindness. They have so many wonderful ideas to fill imaginary buckets!

Report cards will be sent home on Thursday March 14.

Spring Break begins March 18 with school re-opening on Tuesday April 2.

Have a lovely weekend!
