Constable Mohle Visits

Constable Mohle visited our classroom today to talk to us about safety. The students had prepared some questions and he patiently answered every one of them. The students will be sharing what they learned on their blogs, probably next week.

Curling

Recently, our class got to learn about the sport of curling and we didn’t have to go to a rink to try it. We used special rocks that slid oh so nicely across the gym floor and had a great time pushing the brooms as well.

Jingle Dance

One of my former students visited my class today to perform a First Nations Jingle Dance for us. She even taught some of the braver children how to do the dance.
From her, we learned that the Jingle Dance is a healing dance and that if we weren’t feeling well, the sound of the jingles would help us to feel better.

Finding Answers

Both the grade ones and the grade twos had lots of questions about our current health unit, so we talked to a nurse via Skype to get some answers. The grade ones asked questions about their heart, brains and lungs

and the grade twos had questions about diseases.

A New Book!

Because our class guessed the correct answer during an education week contest, we won a book! Mr. Orescanin choose the book Where the Wild Things Are for us because it was his favorite book when he was a child. Today he brought us the book and read it to us. The best part is that we get to keep it in our classroom so that we can all read it.
Thanks, Mr. Orescanin.
