Grade 1/2 Experiences at Rosser Elementary
Students wrote out six ‘wishes’ they would ask a leprechaun ☘️
These were transferred onto the coloured strips and attached to their ‘clouds’.
A few wee folk showed up on the bulletin board across the hall from the rainbows.
Happy Patrick’s Day ☘️🌈☘️
We created our lovely small poppies for our Remembrance Day wreath. The outer rim are our traditional poppies, and the inner ring are from a design created by Robin Roberts, an Indigenous artist of Tsimshian, Haida, and Squamish ancestry. It will be presented at our Remembrance Day assembly tomorrow morning.
We then had a directed drawing lesson on a single poppy filling a huge paper, much as Georgia O’Keefe did with much of her artwork. Students went over their pencil lines with china grease markers and filled the centres with oil pastels. The petals were painted with red tempera paint. Once dry these were cut out and glued onto green construction paper.
We made ’layered’ shamrocks with construction paper and oil pastels. They are gracing the hallway bulletin board with some leprechaun folk ☘️☘️
We have also been enjoying several Irish stories this week: Fin M’Coul, The Giant of Knockmany Hill; The Luckiest Leprechaun; and The Leprechaun’s Gold.
Erin go braugh ☘️
We had a great 100’s Day. Mrs. Temple had a baggie of 100 M&M candies. This is how they balanced out. We all got to eat five of them 🤤
Then there were three jars of candies. We had to guess which one had the most. Most thought that Jar B had the most. We found out that that all three jars had the same number – 100 🤔
We had fun making Fruit Loop necklaces by doing ten groups of ten alternating colours.
We made twenty groups of five-set tally marks on our 100 Day crown headbands.
To see us all in our crowns / necklaces check out your parent email.
Here are our 100’s Day collections on the bulletin board in the hallway.
We are still working on our 100’s Day booklets. These should be done tomorrow.
We spent Tuesday and part of today discussing and doing activities about Terry Fox. A few of these are on the bulletin board between our room and the Office.
Students made a list of six wishes they would ask for from a leprechaun, should they be lucky enough to catch one …
These wishes were written on rainbow coloured strips of paper and attached to their cloud.
Students wrote messages of “kindness” in preparation for Pink Shirt Day which will be next week (Wednesday, February 23rd).
Each student in the three classes (Divisions 1, 4, and 6) created one piece of the trees 🌲 Some were right side up (the green ones) and some were upside down (the red ones). Thank you to the big buddies for putting these all together. They look amazing!
We all made shoes which were placed on the walls in the hallways by the Leadership students. We also created Marathon of Hope t-shirts.
This is our bulletin board by the Office.
