We played a very fun math game the other day. One student picks a number on the hundreds chart. The other asks if it is a certain number, and the response has to be either ‘yes!’ or ‘no, but the number is bigger’ or ‘no, but the number is smaller’. This game is great for number recognition and practicing number awareness up to 100

We had great Halloween fun today! 

I sent home some fun little worksheets you can have your kids do over the weekend if you’re looking for some quiet time 😉

We had a Halloween dance party, and build haunted houses! The parade through the classes in the morning was so cute!

It’s starting to look halloween-y in our class!

Partner reading

We have been learning how to appreciate books, even if we can’t read all the words! We spent some time looking through Halloween books, making up stories with the pictures, and seeing if there are any words we recognize. This is a great thing to practice at home as well. 

For art, we have been working on some portraits that will grace our walls! It was pretty funny hearing the exclamations when I said that we would have different coloured skin and hair! 

thankful trees

We have so much to be thankful for. The students worked very hard on their trees. They painted, colored, cut, brainstormed together, and wrote! 

Hello division 4! I am back in to my account and ready to share some of the fun things we have been doing! Here is a little video from September 29th. We had a great discussion about what orange shirt days means, and spend some time colouring a design by a local indigenous artist. They were so mindful in their colouring as we talked about sending healing thoughts to indigenous communities. 

We had so much fun with Jackie Essombe learning African dance and songs today! 

Good morning! We will be participating in the Global School Play Day today! It's so easy to forget the importance of play in the development of young minds.

I watched this TED Talk this morning as a reminder of the importance of play. While it might be a bit confusing for children, I highly recommend adults take a look at it!

Here are some pictures of today’s creations 

Happy lunar new year everyone! Today we looked at different lunar new year art and then did our own. Take a look at the art we started!
