Several weeks ago, Mr. Paice and Mr. Silversides promised to allow the students to shave their heads if the students purchased 400 or more books at the Book Fair. More than 500 books were actually purchased, so one student from each class got to help shave a head. The energy in the gym during this popular event was incredible.
Well done students AND Mr. Paice and Mr. Silversides.
What a great breakfast we had together this morning! Yum, yum. Thank you parents for providing the fruit and cheese. We also had a bunny make an appearance in our classroom and everyone got to find out what a bunny actually feels like.
We made and tasted Irish soda bread, estimated, sorted and counted Lucky Charms and had some yummy green snacks (thanks, Rory’s mom). Some of the students even said they saw a leprechaun!
It’s such a joy to see the way the students’ reading abilities are improving every day.
Investigating images and videos about animals to go with our new inquiry…
…making “get well” cards…
…and creating leprechauns.
We’ve talked a lot about the primary colours. This week we focused on the secondary colours and straight lines. After putting painter’s tape on our papers, we painted the left-over space. Once the paint was dry, we carefully pulled off the the tape. Masterpieces!
We’ve been having lots of fun making puppets and using those puppets to tell stories.
