Gung Hay Fat Choy!



Today, the grade 1's in room 14 & 16 celebrated Chinese New Year!  We went on a parade dressed in red, carrying lanterns and dragons - all symbols of good luck.  We even brought a broom to sweep the bad luck out from last year!  Now, each classroom can welcome in good luck.  A few students even played musical instruments.  We had a lot of fun!  Gung Hay Fat Choy!

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Today we had a group of students perform a reader's theatre play, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff."  They did a fabulous job!  All of the performers worked hard on using fluency and expression.  After the play, we were sure to shower them in compliments, as well as, give them a few "helpful hints" so that they can set goals for their next performance.  Well done!

Dance-a-thon here we come!



The kindergarten's and grade 1 students have been working hard all week on their dance for the dance-a-thon.  On Thursday and Friday this week, we met as a large group, and put the "puzzle pieces" of our dance together.  We are working hard because we want to knock your socks off!

Mitten Math






Over the last few days, we have been using mittens to learn about symmetry, patterns, and measurement.  In the above pictures, we are using our mittens to measure the length and height of objects. We had a lot of fun working together and learning together!

Welcome back!

Welcome back!  It was a cold start back to school today, but the classroom quickly warmed up with all of the smiling faces that entered the room this morning.  Students were very happy to see their friends, and to share the wonderful experiences they had over the winter break.

Today as a class, we discussed new expectations and how we were going to achieve them.  We are looking forward to a fun filled, action packed term of learning!
