Science ROCKS!!

Today we were Scientists! It was very cool and fun! We put on our lab coats and our special glasses. We were ready!

We talked about our equipment and how to do the experiment with our partner. 

WOW! were we ever focused! It was amazing and exciting! 

This is so fun! 

Look! Mini explosions! 

We made some neat colours! 

All of our lab coats have REAL scientists names on them! We always ask who we are when we put them on for our special science lab days! 

Science is the BEST!!

Welcome to a new school year!

A new year and a new little bunch of lovelies! I am excited to try out some new ideas this year! I have been researching and reading up on flexible seating. This year I am going to give it a try!
We have been in school for 10 days now and I can honestly say, my kids LOVE flexible seating! They love that they can choose the best place for them to sit and work. They are happier and so am I!
They are a neat little bunch of kids and I am enjoying them. We are still in the "honeymoon" phase, but I can see we will have a fun year of learning together! As soon as I have permission from everyone's families, I will be able to share photos of what we are doing in our classroom! Stay tuned for that!

Lots to catch up on...again!

Hello everyone. 

I had to take a sick day today. I had such a migraine, I felt like my head was going to explode! 

Thankfully am feeling a bit better. Still resting and keeping my fluids up. Missing my babies though! Onto my class and all the fun stuff we have been up to! It has been a busy January! 

First off, we went skiing! It was so fun! We had ski or snowboard lessons all day long with real ski and snowboard teachers.

CLAY PLAY! 

We also had a visit from a clay teacher. This teacher taught us how to work with real clay. We built penguins and then the clay teacher took the penguins away to fire them in a kiln. We learned that is a really hot oven and we will get them back in a month! 

Once we have them back we will paint them and then take them home! 

Here we are in our clay aprons.

This is the penguins we built! 

Literacy week was a busy week! We started our week with a story read to us by the superintendent of our school division. Then we went back to our classroom and decorated book bags! 

We carried around books wherever we went in the school, so we could drop and read whenever! 

It was GREAT! 

We painted very cute mini penguin paintings with our fingers! They were hanging in the school's art gallery hall for a month! 

Penguin Puppets! We made puppets as a part of our penguin study.

We wrote about our favourite thing to do in the winter.

It was a fun writing project! Plus it looked so cute! 

Onto February! 

Coming up this month we will be having our student led conferences! 

I will be trying a new format, so we will see how it goes!
