Mathletics

We worked on Mathletics today.  Two students got to work in 4/5 Pisko's room.  We had to do take aways which is subtraction!

We had gym. We were playing Jump Over the Line tag.

We worked on our couplets.  A couplet is 2 sentences poem with rhyming words at the end.

We played drums again in music!

Living Things

We are learning about Living Things.  We know that they move, they grow, they need water and food. We planted seeds today.  We watered the seeds.

We learned some more about Zones.  We watched some scenes from Inside Out. We learned that our body shows the Zones without even using word!.  It gives us clues instead.  It was fun!  Alex and Kyla and Ms. Beach taught us about Zones.

Arbor Day

Today we get a little tree for Arbor Day.  Trees give us shade and it gives the birds a home.  Arbor Day is every May 10 and the government gives Grade 1s a little tree.

We are sending a message to Mayor Snodgrass.  We want to tell him that we want a new park at the Water Tower Park.  We researched ideas for new playground stuff and we wrote him a letter.  We would like the Water Tower Park to be bigger.  Mrs. Saunderson is going to give him our letter.

We played drums in music.  It the first time, we loved it!

Happy Mother's Day!

We shared our electronics today!  It was fun.

We have been learning about Zones.  Ask me what they mean!  When we are in the green zone that means you are ready for learning and good to go.

Happy Mother's Day on Sunday to all our GREAT moms!  Enjoy your day.  We will be extra great for you.

It is May!

On Thursday, it is Electronics ($2) or Hat ($1) Day!!!! If I would like to do those things, I need to bring my money by Wednesday.
We can't believe it's May!  
We were creating a new playground with a swing set, slides and spinners/climbers for Water Tower Park.  We voted in our groups and drew some pictures.  We are going to give our ideas to the Mayor! We used the iPad to look and choose playground equipment.

Be Kind!

We had a school assembly.  We had big kid partners and we had to figure out clues to the classroom numbers.  All the teachers made a clue about their room.  We were learning about kindness.  Our classroom was number 139.

We had Catch Up time today.  Not everyone got caught up!

We played Bingo using the Bossy Rs.  If you got a bingo, you got a TimBit! We ALL had a bingo!

Our fairy tales are coming home!

We had special visitors from the dentist.  They taught us what healthy snacks to eat, reminded us to brush the roof of your mouth and your tongue. They gave us a treat bag with a new toothbrush.  You should brush your teeth for 2-3 minutes.

I am bringing home my Fairy Tale story.  Mrs. Saunderson is emailing our videos home.  Let's talk about my beginning, middle and ending!

A pirate says A-R!

We made some pirates today.  A pirate says Ar!!!! A pirate says words like: barn, Shehryar, car, tar and Mars!
We also made rainbows.  We used skinny markers to trace our words.  It was about spring.  It was an acrostic poem.  Acrostic poem means the idea is written straight down and all the lines need to match the idea.

High River Landmarks

We made some spring vocabulary words.  We used the words in our Spring acrostic poem.  Some students finished their synergy colouring.

We are learning about High River landmarks.  We know that the Medicine Tree, the water park, the Co-Op are all High River landmarks.  Can we take a landmark photo and email to Mrs. Saunderson?

Synergy!

We played an Earth Day game.  We had to recycle things into the right bins.  We only had 20 seconds!  We couldn't do it at school.  Can we do it at home?

We made a synergy project.  It was a painting by a famous artist, Vincent Van Gogh.  We created puzzle pieces and used oil pastels to colour our section.  We put all the sections together to make the painting, Starry Night.
