Arrrrr! All Hands on Deck!

We are excitedly building a pirate ship for our classroom.  Everyone is lending a helping hand.  Today we painted the box our teacher cut into a ship and used paper rolls for the frame of the mast.  We just need sails, a crows' nest, a flag, cushions, and then, let the adventures begin!

 

We "Be-Leaf" It's Fall!

After our fall hike collecting leaves, we used our collection for math, science and art activities.

 

Terry Fox Walk

On September 24th, we joined our school and community on the annual Terry Fox Walk.  Even Scully joined in.

Where Our Food Comes From

If you ask us where our food comes from, you will hear a chorus of ..."from the farm".  To help our learning about how we get the food we eat from the farm to our table, we took a tour of our local Co-op store.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

J is for Juggle!

On letter-sound Jj day, we practiced juggling.  We use tissues so no one was hurt with flying objects!

 

International Dot Day

We made our own mark.

 

Rockets Away!

We will have a blast of a year! It was super fun to take our rockets out to fly on the first day of school.

September 22-26, 2014 A New Week

Our focus this week will be the season of fall.  We will go on a fall leaf hunt and after we sort our leaves, we will create leaf pictures.  We will take part in the Terry Fox Walk on Wednesday morning.  Orange, blue and pink are the colour words we will focus on.  We will concentrate on the number words and numbers to 9 (nine) also this week. We will go to the elementary computer lab and start our keyboarding practice typing the alphabet letters in order.  We will continue to work on our fine motor printing skills and will use our mini-whiteboards.  It will be another busy week!  (Hmmm, what will Miss Johnson make out of that huge empty box in our classroom? Stay tuned to find out!)

A Busy Week

We are learning about jobs and how they meet our needs and wants, and how food gets to our table.  We will go on a tour of the Co-op store on Thursday.  We are also learning about fall and will go on a fall nature hike on Tuesday.  The walk will give us the opportunity to practice our pedestrian safety rules.  We will be continuing our study of the colour words red, green, black and brown this week.  In math we are continuing our study of patterns and the numbers 0-4, making sets, counting, and printing the numerals.  On Wednesday we are going to an assembly where we will learn about our hero, Terry Fox.  Wow, it's going to be a busy week!
