Picture Day- Friday, October 21st

Smile! Picture Day is this Friday!

Green Legacy Trip

What a beautiful day we had for our Green Legacy trip. The class worked hard and in the first hour transported 5000 saplings from their cell containers into crates. They then put them in the green house. Later in the afternoon the planted saplings into cells for continued growth. We finished off with a nature walk through the 200 acre forest. Students learned about various habitats and plant/tree species.
Thanks to Ms. Seneses, Mme. P, and Mrs. Martin who joined us on the trip.

Hallowe'en Story

The class is writing a Hallowe'en story. In class they rolled a number cube (dice) to determine the character, setting, and problem. They are using graphic organizers and a 4-square to brainstorm 5 ideas for each section. They also have a section for their "razzle dazzle" (descriptive words). They have Hallowe'en spelling words to assist them with ideas and proper spelling in their story.
As a class we created a writing rubric. The curriculum expectations were put into "kid friendly" language that students could understand.
Students will have the opportunity in class to use computers to publish their "good copy" of their writing.

 

 

At the Park with Our Reading Buddies

On Friday we went to the park with our JK/SK reading buddies. The class played on the equipment, raced, played "Duck, Duck Goose", and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Rocks Curling

On Friday, the class had the opportunity to experience an "iceless" curling lesson. They learned how to sweep, throw a rock, how to score, and the lingo of curling.
Check out our class in action!
