Our school celebrated Pink Day with a visit from Spencer Moore, a member of the Roughriders. He talked to us about bullying. We also got to see his Grey Cup ring!
We Love to Read!
Nothing makes a teacher’s heart sing like a group of students reading together. I took these pictures during our most recent trip to the school library.
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.
Tweeting With Elise Gravel
We have a lot of Elise Gravel books in our classroom, and the students love them.
Yesterday, we used Elise Gravel’s book I Want a Monster to help us to draw monsters. The students were so pleased with their results that they wished they could show them to her. Because I know that Elise Gravel is on Twitter, I suggested that the students tweet her their pictures. So we did.
And to the student’s delight, right at the end of our school day, she tweeted every one of the students back! “Best end of the day ever” they all said.
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.
