On the last day of school, the students took time to think about what they had learned and their goals for the future. I may be biased, but I think they are beyond cute.
Enjoy!
Classroom Life
“Muffin” Better Than You
To honour our fathers (or other significant people in our lives), the students baked muffins and made cards. Many of the students were hoping their dad would want to share his muffins. I’ll find out next week how that worked out…
A Bird, A Bus and the A Sound
This week we have been learning the different ways to make an “a” say its name. We did a word sort and made lists and drew pictures.
Then, we made videos to show how much we had learned. Check the students’ blogs to see these creations about The A Sound. These girls were able to (mostly) work on this project despite being squished together.
At the literacy evening this week, the students got a chance to see and touch a peregrine falcon, thanks to Larry Going who was good enough to bring his in for us.
Interestingly, this bus also appeared in our classroom one day while the students were working…
Go Noodling
When we’ve been sitting for awhile, we like to take movement breaks to help our brains stay active. One of our favourite sites to do this is Go Noodle. Who doesn’t like jumping and dancing to music?
Pancakes and a Bunny
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.
St. Patrick’s Day
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!
Images From Our Week
Investigating images and videos about animals to go with our new inquiry…
…making “get well” cards…
…and creating leprechauns.
The 100th Day
We’ve been working in our classroom for 100 days. Today it was time to celebrate by reading 100 books,
making books about 100
putting together puzzles with 100 pieces
and counting and eating 100 snacks!
Sharing What We Have Learned
One of the wonderful things about using digital devices is that they allow you to create something to show what you have learned and then to share that learning with the world.
Check the students’ blogs to see what their latest learning is!
Watch Us Read!
This is one of my favourite times of the school year, as students begin to realize that they can read themselves all or at least part of those library books they have been signing out for their parents to read to them. It’s so exciting for me as a teacher and for the students as well.
