Nov 25 Sharing

We always encourage students to share events and the things that  happen in their home life. We believe if you share with others it helps create leaders, increase oral communication and build a rapport with their peers. This week Tanisha and Shayla had an opportunity to share personal events in their lives.  If your child would like to share anything special from home send us a email with attached pictures and they can present to their friends.

 

Tanisha sharing photos of India.

 

Shayla shared her visit to the hospital for some special tests

 

Thank you Tanisha and Shayla for sharing this week.

 

Have a wonderful Weekend.

Fri Nov25 Emergency Evacuation Drill

Today our school  had an emergency  evacuation  drill . We walked to the front of the school and partnered with a grade 7 class. If we were to really evacuate, we would walk to Sobeys. The  children were great. We have had a number of drills this school year and each time it is a little different but the children always do well. We had a community circle and discussed it first. Ms. McDowell and I are very proud of the students.

 

 

Well Done Everyone!!

Pat yourself on the back.

Tues Nov 21 Structure this week

The children have been building a structure this week .It started out Tuesday and had add on and  some play with it .It  evolved  in  a very elaborate design. I am very proud of the students involved.

 This structure was last week and had to be taken down  after thinking and learning so the children had to decide on a new spot.

 

Started  by Zain this week.

  Each day new pieces were added by him and other students.

 

Thursday  it had evolved to a more  complex design.  All the wooden pieces were added. The children worked together to add a unique balance of pieces. It was set up all week. We had a lot of visitors come an see the design and wonder how it never fell.

 

Thursday and Friday it was used by students as a ramp for the cars. A few small pieces fell in the back .  It is still a wonder how they managed to play with the cars and ramp and get the cars with out creating a downfall of all the blocks. More importantly the tallest pillar in the center was stable all week. If you give the children trust and risk they will figure it out themselves. This is evidence of allowing children time to create and opportunity to save there work for thinking and learning at later date.

Well done building and creating.

 

Mon Nov 20 Writing in Room 113

So we are seeing more evidence of writing in the classroom. The children are seeing  words  and identifying them in books and around the classroom. I love the peer relationship of  sharing in place . Children say the words to each other and are learning from each other in turn. They are getting confidence in writing the text of their journals and documenting.  I hear them sounding out the sounds as they write.
