You are probably wondering what math looks like in our classroom.  We do have whole-group and small-group lessons, but the majority of our time is spent actively practicing new strategies and developing math fluency through centres, games, puzzles etc.  We also work together because cooperative learning encourages different ways of thinking while representing math concepts. 

Here we are being mathematicians. [metaslider id=4117]

After visiting the animals and playing on the hay bales, we took a ride out to the pumpkin patch.  Then we got to pick out our own pumpkin to take home, but which one should we choose? Finally, we picked the perfect one and it was back to the bus. [metaslider id=4072]

We had a wonderful trip!  Thank you to all the parent volunteers that came with us. We could not have had this experience without your support.

Ask me if a saw something that surprised me.

The children were delighted with the animals – horses, goats, lambs, donkeys, baby pigs, baby bunnies to name just a few.  They loved touching them, hearing their noises and experiencing all the different smells.  One of the highlights was holding the baby bunnies. [metaslider id=3968]

Ask me which animal I liked the best.
