January Photos

Here are some photos from the past month. A number of the photos were taken during our time with Starr Gymnastics. The students had a blast at all the stations and really enjoyed our chief gymnast, Jester. It think he's part gymnast, part comedian:)  Some of the others were from our Dance-a-thon, our time spent with our Gr.5 reading buddies, building board games and also enjoying some outdoor winter play after we earned 1500 Dojo points, earning the class Friday fun. Part of the block was outdoor fun play and the other was watching a nature movie together and eating a special popcorn snack (not too unhealthy I promise:)

A Few Photos

Hi Parents, here are some photos from some recent and somewhat recent events and activities in class and at the school. 

Twin Day

Learning how to curl with the 'Rocks and Rings' Program

Sorting our shapes with Venn diagrams (grade 1's were encouraged to choose colour, size or other non-geometric properties and Gr.2's to use geometric properties)

Making Christmas tags for The Mission. One side has a Christmas message and the other, a Christmas joke. We then tied them with a ribbon to a candy cane to be given to The Mission. This activity was done with the other Grade 2 classes as well, but our Grade Ones were keen to join in. 

Making cookies with our Grade 5 buddies. 

Baking buddies.

Spirit Week

Last day of school before Christmas Break. We gathered in the gym to sing Christmas songs together in the morning. 

We had a visitor!  Rumour has it, he has been spotted popping his head into the Gr.6 classroom a few times this year:)
