Busy Week!

-
Hello again and welcome back to the blog!

We had a pretty busy week this week! On Monday morning we were very lucky to be participants in a presentation from Earth Rangers. We met some animal friends and learned some cool facts about them and how to take care of them and their environment. On Wednesday we ran for Terry Fox and it was super fun! Thank you to everyone for their generous donations. (Next week we will be practicing counting and addition to see how much money our class raised for cancer research) 

ALSO, we stumbled upon a family of baby voles while we were out having our snack on Wednesday!! They were TINY and adorable and the students were very excited to make new wild animal friends. We talked about how important it is to respect wildlife and not touch or frighten animals. They were eventually moved to a safer location far away from the playground by our admin team :)


 
This week we continued talking about identity and the kinds of things that influence our unique and shared identities. We will keep talking about this next week!

We started surveying and graphing in math! We learned that the most popular animals in our class are cats and dogs and that the most liked food is pizza!


It was lovely to meet those of you that came to the Open House on Thursday and Friday - thank you for taking the time to come and chat!

Have a wonderful weekend,
Mme Anderson

Salut! Thank you to all those who came out to parent-teacher conferences last week - it was wonderful to get to chat with all of you about your students' learning and progress. We had a very exciting week this week! You may have heard about the Top Secret Mission that Mme Devitt tasked us with.... She asked our to class create a Kindness/Wellness Board for the whole school! Students wrote some thoughtful, kind, and supportive messages on sticky notes and posted them to a "Take One, Share One, Leave One" board. Students were SO excited to be doing this awesome project for the school. Check it out on our school's twitter account!   We are continuing to work on literacy stations in our class in both French and English. Here are some pictures of students working through their stations! In math we are learning about how to solve addition and subtraction word problems. We've been spending a lot of time practicing and learning how to carry-over (addition) and borrow (sub...

Happy Mother's day ! A few more memories of the Coulee visits this year.  On May 4th we went to the Coulee and the children discovered the joy of land art.  This taking things found on the forest floor or stream and creating art!   Some creative writing combined with art, using adjectives in both French and English! Still working on our Ukrainian eggs when we have a little extra time!!!  Watching our bean seeds germinate and grow!
