What a wonderful day we had today!!
The weather was great; the kids were fairly well behaved; and everything went quite well. I feel that students really enjoyed themselves. Thanks to our lovely moms who came along to help us🥰

Our Personalized T-shirts
Through our discussions around Orange Shirt Day, and learning about residential schools, students created their own personalized t-shirts. These were meant to depict themselves and things that are important to them.
St. Patrick’s Activities
We created three layered shamrocks with construction paper. Students used tracers and cut out three different sizes of shamrocks. They used oil pastels to colour patterns onto each section. They were limited to using various colours in greens, blues, and purples. Once coloured the three layers were glued together.
Students created rainbow wishes to be made in the event they were to catch a leprechaun. Each student made a list of six wishes which were printed – one on each of six coloured papers. These were attached to a cloud with a poem about leprechauns on it.
Both of these activities are posted on our bulletin boards in the hallway outside of our classroom. Please check them out when you are at school.

100’s Day Crowns and Fruit Loop Necklaces
100’s Day Collections!
Thank you for helping your children create such wonderful collections of 100 things!
100’s Day Posters
100’s Day!!!
We had a very busy day doing ‘hundreds’ of things – literally! After Calendar, where we officially moved into our 100th Day of school, we created Fruit Loop necklaces with 100 pieces of cereal on each string. Students counted 10 of one colour before adding it to their string. They did this ten times (alternating colours) to get to 100.
While awaiting their turn at the necklace station students worked on their crown headbands. On the crowns they were to chose ten different colours of felt markers and do ten groups of ten objects (dots, shapes, stars, etc.) to create 100 in total. These crowns were attached to headbands that they were to place 20 stickers on (in a pattern, hopefully) where they wrote the numbers to 100 by counting by fives.
Lunar New Year Dragons
We created some very colourful dragons yesterday. They were inspired by our Poem of the Week, “What Colour Were the Dragons?”. They are on the bulletin board on the outside of our classroom.
Happy New Year!
We have been very busy since we got back to school. We have been discussing the idea of ‘resolutions’ as a promise to one’s self to work on things to improve ourselves in whatever area we choose (i.e. behaviour, friendships, academics, work ethics, etc.).
We also made party hats with our buddies. These are on the bulletin board outside of our classroom by the office.
