No better way to kick off a week than with a giant sugar rush. Heh. Somewhere along the way, Valentine’s Day became pretty much as big of a deal as Halloween and we all sure revelled in our spoils while very clearly ignoring Madame’s “eat only one candy each before going home” policy. Even the guinea pigs got spoiled with vegetable and fruit treats!! 😉 Thankfully, the weather was glorious and we got to spend the afternoon running off our sugar highs and exploring a new park – Mitchell Rd. Apparently several dozen other students also thought this would be a good idea. It was very fun for some of us to run into siblings and cousins! We took the long way back to school so that we could cut through the forest path. We’ve decided that we definitely need to come back to this space soon, just to spend more time playing in the woods! We’ve had some new toys in our classroom recently! (A huge “merci” to Revolution Pump Service Ltd. for the gifts!) We are loving trying all kinds of Rubik’s cubes and learning more about the world with a LeapFrog interactive globe! A little screen with BBC videos teaches us all about animals, landmarks, cultures, geography, etc as we tap on the various countries and continents. At snack time, we’ve been asking Madame to give us some extra Math challenges. We’re loving the extra practice doing addition with carrying numbers, and subtraction with borrowing. We get better and better every day! On Thursday, we got to teach our big buddies the Indigenous song we’ve been learning, gifted to us by Lillie from the Katzie First Nation. It was so fun to be able to pass along our knowledge! In French, Madame has us starting to analyze sentences, looking for masculine and feminine nouns, as well as adjectives. We are beginning to notice how the adjectives agree with the nouns that they describe. (Secretly, Madame is just teaching all this grammatical blah-dee-blah because she wants to play “Mad Libs” with us when we become experts on the various parts of speech… well, that and it’s part of the curriculum.) In Art, we've been flexing our people-drawing skills by attempting to draw our families in honour of "Family Day" this weekend. Some of us did this assignment last year, but it's always interesting to see how our drawing skills progress from one year to the next! Extra photos...
