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.
Gingerbread House Building
Lots of fun this afternoon!!
Gingerbread House items
These items are photographed for your information. Please send in your child’s collection of items before Friday. Thank you.
Remembrance Day
Our school will be holding our assembly tomorrow at 10:45 a.m. All are welcome to attend.
Here are our poppies on our bulletin in the hallway. The large ones were created through a directed drawing lesson. Once the poppies were drawn, students traced over the pencil lines with china markers. They then painted the red and green on the poppies. These dried over the weekend. This week we re-traced the china marker, cut them out, and glued them onto green construction paper. They all did a great job!
The smaller poppies are made from four layers of coloured (red and green) construction paper. We did these with our big buddies on Tuesday. It was great to see the buddies working together! These small poppies are a lovely complement to the larger, painted ones. Check them out when you get a chance.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin
Today we read this story in preparation for our look at pumpkins and their life cycle. We will be further discussing this and doing some activities around pumpkins. The week will be topped off with our trip to the farm on Friday. We are looking forward to our joint experience.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Students worked in partnerships to brainstorm ideas of things that they are thankful for this year. They depicted these things in pictures and in words. These posters are on a bulletin board in our classroom.
