Oops! Lost track of time and didn't blog much...

Hello everyone!
I haven't blogged in ages! I am now on Christmas holiday break and I finally have time to catch up on things in the other parts of my life.  I will share some fun things my kiddos did since last time I blogged!
We worked on  "AR" words using pirates because of the school's book fair had a Pirate theme


We studied OWLS in October and November

We looked at Owl pellets, but I didn't tell the kids what they were. I had them guess first with no clues, just looking at the silver wrapped shape on the white tray. 
The kids guessed things like dog food, dirt, mouldy food, candy. 
We always wear our lab coats when we are doing our science investigations. 
They were so excited and VERY engaged in their work! 










                                                                  Look at the BONES! So cool!
                             We learned so much about what Owls eat. It was a very fascinating study!

                                                                      Christmas came so quick!
           We had a tree in our classroom and we decorated it all together. It was a lovely classroom tree!
The last week before our holiday break, we arrived at school to see presents underneath our tree! We opened two presents per day. The gifts we opened were special things for our classroom. We got new books, games and Lego! Everyone was very excited! The month of December was so busy, I forgot to take photos of all the cool things we did!
We were sent little stuffed puppies from Santa, to teach to read. We read to them everyday! Then we had an Elf, that we named Buddy, visit us from the North Pole. He moved around the classroom every night. He had a suitcase full of clothes and a little reindeer too! We also had to practise our Christmas concert song everyday! The month went by so quickly!





We turned ourselves into Elves and even gave ourselves Elf names! It was such a fun project! 



This was an adorable gift that one of my students mom's made for me. 
Hopefully, I will remember to blog more in the new year! 
Right now I am just planning on resting, relaxing and catching up on personal projects at my home. 
Happy 2017 everyone!

Halloween and what a day!

Halloween on a MONDAY! Oh my goodness! I think I am fast becoming a fan of, "if Halloween falls on a week day it should happen on the closest WEEKEND! 
My kids were pretty amazing considering it was Halloween. They were excited but actually managed some pretty good writing about pumpkins! I was happy! 
The day after Halloween...yikes! 
I think they were so tired, they left their brains at home in bed! 

Cute costumes! It was a fun dress  up day! 





Pumpkin writing!

Oh My Goodness! So much to catch up on!

Hello there!
So much to catch up on! We have been busy, busy, busy at school and in my own life at home things have been busy too, which is why it has taken so long to update my blog!
So here is the updates!
We had a special visitor from The World Of Science and she let us do so many fun things with BUBBLES!




It was a lot of bubbley FUN!

We have been working on patterns in math, so we made Pattern Turkeys! 
They turned out so cute! 





We visited the Fire Hall for Fire safety Week and it was so much fun!!

We tried on their clothes!

We even got to squirt water out of the fire hose! It was the highlight of the trip!

We painted little owls and tried out pastels!

We met a reading strategy puppet friend, Stretchy the Snake! 

We created some very cool Skeletons with Q-tips!
We read the story "Skeleton Hiccups!" and then wrote about how we would help 
the skeleton get rid of it's hiccups! 
They turned out so cute!

Science is AWESOME!!

Science is so AWESOME! It is one of my favourite subjects to teach and explore with my groovy kids!
We are really enjoying science. It is so cool to do hands on experiments! Yesterday we were Super Scientists and we mixed colours and made MINI-Explosions! The "scientists" wore their lab coats and eye protection. We need to be safe! We also used real science equipment; pipettes!  We "sucked" up coloured vinegar and squeezed it on to baking soda to mix colours and watch the cool chemical reaction!







It was lots of colourful, fizzy fun!
