MakerSpace

Today we went to the MakerSpace to work with Mrs. Grant. Ask me to tell you what this is. It is a space in the learning commons where we get to explore different learning centers. There are activities such as building, planning and drawing. Ask me to tell you about all the different centers.








Today was Mrs. J's last day :( She was an educational assistant in our class.

We are so sad to see her leave but are so happy because we learned that she is migrating! Ask me to tell you where Mrs. J goes in the fall. We will miss her so much.

Group Hug for Mrs. J! 

We are doing some art after learning that Canada Geese migrate. We used chalk pastel today to make realistic art of a Canada Geese. We will be cutting and gluing these to our beautiful backgrounds we did the other day.



We will be doing word work and reading activities regularly using iPads. Please send in a set of headphones with your child's name on it in a ziplock bag. Thank you.

Our Grade 1 assembly is this Friday at 9:15am. We hope to see you there! We have been practicing our songs and cannot wait for you to hear how we sound.

We would like to give a big THANK YOU to all of our amazing parents. We are so pleased to announce that all of our wish items for our Halloween party next week has all been fulfilled. We could not do all of these fun activities without your help. We have had lots of pumpkins donated as well for our math and science investigations next week. Thank you!

Our poem says "I think I can"! This is a positive mindset that we are trying learn to say to ourselves even when things are hard. We listened to a story called "How to catch a star" which is about a boy who loved stars and wished he could catch his own. We counted that he tried at least 5 different ways to catch a star and did not give up until one of his ways worked! We brained stormed what perseverance is and made a list. Then, we drew pictures of a time that we thought something was hard but had to persevere to accomplish it. We drew before and after pictures of what it looks and feels like to persevere! Some of us drew about learning how to ride a bike, swim, skate, climb monkey bars, and play hockey. REMINDERS: We seem to have a fruit fly problem ...
