We spent the afternoon with our little buddies. We helped them read and colour a book about Orange Shirt Day. 

Our little buddies are from Mrs. Barnes/Mrs. Gill's grade 1 class. We look forward to seeing them a few times each month. We have lots of fun activities planned for the year!

We are excited to welcome Teacher-Librarian, Mrs. Gill, into our classroom every Friday morning where she will share the first chapter of a new novel each week. Students will have a chance to preview a new book in the hopes of one peaking their interest to dive into a read. 

Today we read chapter one of Shamus, the Urban Rez Dog, P.I. by Leslie Gentile. 

Here is our bulletin board with our math "Me by the Numbers"

In groups of 4, students were given 2 pairs of scissors, a meter of tape and one large sheet of construciton paper. The task was to create the longest paper chain in 5 minutes. After a 2 minute brainstorm, they got to work! There were many different strategies used and it was interesting to see how teams worked together. Team Purple was the winner this year!
