April Showers!

Spring has finally arrived... We can finally go outside without ski pants, we will celebrate Easter and Earth Day and we are in the final stretch of the school year! Check out our new art projects, our non-fiction animal posters, penpal writing and what we have been learning about in science. 

Our study of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia inspired us to create sailboat art!

It's raining, it's pouring!

Reading and writing all about a variety of animals.

Name that liquid...

We learned a few new words such as absorption, transparent, translucent and opaque.

We wrote back to our penpals at Royal School.

Easter math... the equations were hidden in the eggs.  We had to use magnifying glasses to find the tiny equations.

Find an egg and answer the question inside.

New Year, New Learning!

Check out what we have been up to in January and February! I apologize for not being able to post the February newsletter on the blog. I have been having a few technical difficulties. Hopefully March will bring warmer weather and better luck with technology.

100 Day and Valentine Math

Creating tints and shades

In Social Studies we have been learning about the Plains Aboriginal peoples and The Aboriginal Clan System

Aboriginal x-ray style art... inspired by Manitoba artist Clemence Wescoupe

In Math we have been focusing on 2D shapes and 3D solids. Can you build all of the 2D shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows?

Ouch Stories

We have been finishing up our "Ouch Stories" for upcoming Triad Conferences. My students have been working extremely hard on their stories and are excited to share their finished stories with their parents. I am very proud of all of the hard work they have been putting into these stories!

Students began by coming up with an idea and filling in this story map.

Next, students created a three part rough copy.

Once their rough copies were finished and edited, students began creating their final copies.
