Bus Ridership

Last week, we had bus ridership with bus driver Bob.  We reviewed how to act safely on the bus and what to do in case of an emergency.  We practiced sitting properly in the seats, how to safely get off the bus during an emergency and reviewed the bus rules (talking quietly, no eating, etc.)

Avant, après et entre

We have been practicing our counting and figuring out what numbers come before, after and in between other numbers.

Gummy Bear Math

Last week the students had fun doing some Math with gummy bears. The kids sorted, counted and graphed their gummy bears.

Juggler Robin Chestnut

Tuesday morning, we were entertained by a spectacular juggler from Teulon, MB. The kids were filled with excitement as Mr. Chestnut balanced a shoe and a ladder, juggled and did tricks.

Terry Fox Run

The kids did a great job at the Terry Fox Run last week.  Thank you to everyone who sent in a Toonie for Terry!

Our classroom beliefs

This week we have reviewed many times and gone over why we have rules and what is expected of the students in the classroom. Once we agreed on rules that were good for our classroom, everyone signed their name on a crayon to show that they are going to follow our class beliefs.

We also read 'The Crayon Box That Talked' by Shane DeRolf. In this story the crayons all have to work together to create a beautiful picture, just like us at school. We need to all work together to have fun, be safe and learn.

Please review our classroom expectations with your child this weekend. What might this look like in the classroom? Is there anything they can try and do better?

International Dot Day!

Today, we read The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds to celebrate International Dot day. Check out the videos page for the story, a song and an Art lesson.
The grade ones had fun creating their own dots and creating their own picture from a dot. The kids brought home their picture to share with you. The dot they created will be used in a school wide Art project (photo to come soon).
