Not all of the children were present on the last day of school to be included in these photos, but from ALL of us in the classroom, have a very happy holiday season. We’ll be back sharing our learning in the new year.
Month: December 2013
Secrets About Santa
Before the Christmas break, some of the students tweeted secrets about Santa, information that only they knew about the jolly man. The tweets are aggregated together below. Ms. Lirenman’s class in Surrey, B.C. started the hashtag that we used to tweet these little known facts.
Santa Koala
Tonight was our Christmas concert! The theme was Christmas Around the World, so our class chose to sing Santa Koala, a song written about Australia. We recorded our song earlier today as we did our final practice.
Projects
Christmas means lots of exciting projects with glue and colored paper!
We Can Add!
We’re coming to the end of our current addition and subtraction unit. Check the students’ blogs for a screencast they have created of an addition story.
The Warriors Visit
Today two players from the Moose Jaw Warriors visited our classroom. They read us a Brady, Brady book about hockey players and gave us some bookmarks. Even hockey players need to learn how to read!
The Circle of Courage
One of our school goals for this year involves the Circle of Courage. Ms Kemple came into our classroom to teach us about the four parts of the circle. Can your child tell you what the colours stand for? (Hint: Check the tags for this post below)
Learning About Hanukkah–From Other Kids
We’ve learned a lot about how people, traditions and customs can be different. Ms Lirenman’s class in Surrey, B.C. taught us a lot about Hanukkah today. They even lit a menorah for us!
Bells and Books
It’s not too long until Christmas!
Today the children made special advent calendars. Beginning tonight, the students will take one link off of their chain every night until Christmas Eve. When they teach the bell, the big day will be here.
Several weeks ago, our class won a school wide contest for reading the most pages in one week. Finally today we got the books we picked out as prizes! Some great reading ahead!
