What a wonderful time we had on our last day together!
Have a terrific summer.
Classroom Life
Creating Murals
This was so much fun! The students were justifiably proud of their creations.
Making Easter Nests
The students loved making these edible Easter nests. Just look at the smiles!
Pancake Breakfast
It’s always a special time when you get to eat pancakes! Thank you so much to the parents who sent the yummy fruit and cheese along as well. As you can see, the students had a great time.
Chopsticks
Amy Krouse Rosenthal is one of our favourite authors. This week, we read a book of hers called Chopsticks.
Most of the students in the class had never tried chopsticks or eaten sushi, so we gave it a try. First we rubbed them together to get rid of any splinters…
..and then we gave using them a try. There were lots of different techniques.
Finally, success!!
Incidentally, almost everyone loved the sushi.
The students’ writing about the possibilities of chopsticks will begin appearing on their blogs later today.
Mapping the Classroom
There were cheers when we got to use this really BIG paper to help us make maps of our classroom.
100 Days Of School!
On the 100th day of school we had fun counting to 100 by fives with stickers and counting 100 snacks by tens.
We also showed off our collections of 100 things and put together puzzles with 100 pieces.
We also squeezed in time to do some watercolour painting at the Art Museum.
Skating
The children are having a blast skating! I’ve been impressed by how hard they are trying and by how uncomplaining they are about sore feet and falling down. Just look at these smiles.
Making Butter
As part of our study about how people lived in the past, we made our own butter out of cream. We shook the cream…
…and shook it a lot more…
…until it finally became butter. Yum!
The Snow Clothes Challenge
Putting on and taking off our snow clothes consumes a significant amount of time in our classroom. This week, we decided to challenge ourselves to see how fast we can do it if we really try. Can you beat our time?
