Student of the Week, Nov. 26- 30 - Hayden

Hayden spoke clearly and handled class questions like a pro.  He shared his "About Me" poster, showed us his purple belt in karate, and two of his karate certificates.

Math Practice Sites

http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/math.htm

is a site we use with our smartboard for a quick, fun way to reinforce the concepts we are learning and practicing in Math.  Both grades have been comparing numbers up to 1000.  You can find these games under the place value section.  We've also been building and drawing different ways to make numbers.  "Fruit Shoot Place Value" and "Scooter Quest Jr" are a few good ones to try.

Apologies

My apologies for falling behind on the class blog.  I've spent the evening catching up now that report cards have been turned in.

 

December 3rd- "Oh Christmas Tree" Field Trip!

On December 3rd our class will be going to a field trip with Ms. Roberts' class to the BC Forest Discovery Centre in Duncan.  The program we will be participating in is called, "Oh Christmas Tree" and it is a festive program that allows children to explore the evolution of the Christmas tree.  Inside a historic 1905 schoolhouse we will experience how trees have changed, from candles to modern LED lights.  We'll get to create a keepsake Christmas tree ornament and ride on the decorated Christmas train.  We are really looking forward to it!
A permission form will be sent home on Wednesday.  Specific times will be included on this form.  Please look out for it.

Birch Tree Landscapes

We enjoyed experimenting, once again, with warm and cool colours, line, and wet on wet painting.  This is our last fall painting and each and everyone is unique and stunning.  A few are displayed in the hall but we decided to keep the rest in our classroom- we liked them so much.  

 

Student of the Week- November 19-22

Ali (and Lola)

Ali shared her poster and brought in her pet bunny Lola to show her classmates.  Ali also explained how she takes care of her pets.  As you can see from the photos, Lola is a very relaxed rabbit and we all enjoyed petting her, feeding her, and (a lucky few) cuddling her!
