Playing a similar game to snakes and ladders but it counts by 10's all the way to 1000!
Working on our knowledge of base 10, standard form and expanded form in numbers up to 1000.
Working together to achieve a common goal and highlight the most numbers in a short period of time.
We worked on some watercolour backgrounds for our growth mindset art.
We read the story our class is a family and created bracelets, each colour symbolizing something different. Red for kindness, orange for respect, yellow for being ourselves, green for being different, blue for sticking together, purple for making memories and pink for learning together.
We are enjoying have some free time and building as we ease back into school!
Our class wrapped up our 3rd lesson of swim to survive last Thursday. The kids did great trying something new and being brave to do something outside of their comfort zone. #lifeskills #swimtosurvive
A few weeks ago I got to travel to the World Robotics Olympiad with 4 of our Megabrights! What a great day learning lots of new things.
Students worked hard creating urban, suburban and rural communities out of cardboard and other art supplies.
Throwback to Earth Day 🌎 We did a classic school yard cleanup and filled a whole garbage bag.
Constructing and deconstructing 3D shapes in structures in our community, tying together math, social studies and science!
Creating some fun spring/Easter art using negative space, one of our elements of design.
A net or not a net? We played with different ways to attach 6 squares to see if it would fold into a cube.
Learning about 3D shapes with a classic activity, toothpicks and marshmallows.
We started a new project, learning about living and working in ontario! First week explore and research.
Our final day of our personal safety projects, presenting and demonstrating. A safety pillow for fire safety, a tent lock (camping safety), a lighted backpack (child safety), an inflated flotation device (water safety) and glowing safety bracelets (transportation safety).
As we end black history month, here is a throwback to last year's school wide carnival for black excellence where each class chose a country to focus on, ours being Zimbabwe. The art was inspired by Ndebele house painting.
Starting our unit on strong and stable structures! How high can you stack the cups?
The next step of our personal safety creations has been to make some life sized prototypes!
Our latest project has been to create person safety devices for health! Some students chose water safety, fire safety, travel safety and home safety. We started with drawing our ideas and designs.
It is with sad news that I share that our pumpkins have died. Lack of space, nutrients and sunlight are probably the cause. Growing pumpkins in the winter is probably not the best idea 😆
