Ms. Shen went on lots of holiday adventures this winter! She loved going to the arcade, making gingerbread houses, hanging out at family dinners, visiting cousins, skating, and so much more!

Today we enjoyed some new year writing, word searches, literacy centres, art, and more!

We enjoyed our last spelling test of 2024, our last Letter Log journal writing, our last assembly, and we enjoyed finishing the day with a little movie

Have a great new year, a great winter celebration, and have fun spending time with family and friends. See you all in 2025!

Today we continued celebrating in our classroom and we decorated Gingerbread people that Ms. Shen made at home! We each got some candies, decorations, and icing!

Today we practiced tracing, designing, and cutting! We made giant gingerbread people to decorate our hallway!

Today we walked to the Burnaby Public Library! We had story time, got a tour, and got to explore and check a couple books out!

Today we learned about being safe on the internet, how to google, and we started our first research project! We’ll be learning about arctic animals and habitats, so we had the opportunity to research about an animal! We know that we can use books, people, and the internet to research. Today we used iPads! Ask me about it!

Today we enjoyed our first field trip – skating! It was so fun trying something new as a class family!

As a class, the kids have been working hard to earn points against Ms. Shen and Ms. Ambreen! Since kids got to 30 points first, they had the opportunity to make playdough today! We mixed flour, salt, hot water, oil, and food coloring together. We each had a turn to scoop, mix, and kneed. We chose our own color of food coloring to make the perfect playdough to take home.

This is the recipe we used: https://www.iheartnaptime.net/play-dough-recipe/

We celebrated and learned about Diwali! We painted Diyas with our buddy class and learned about the celebration of light!
