Enjoy some picture of the learning taking place in Division 12!
I can't take credit for this beautiful art idea - that goes to Mrs. Russell who teaches at Prospect Lake - but I'm always so amazed with how fabulous these turn out!
On Friday, we saw our little buddies and completed a collaborative poster with them. Division 12 also painted poppies to go on our bulletin board.
Today we had our school Remembrance Day Assembly where we honored those who have served Canada.
Here are some pictures of the fall art that we worked on this week. Students created Zentangles on plain paper. They then had 2 leaf patterns - one was to cut out and use as a stencil for scrapbook paper. Then they cut out the scrapbook paper shapes to glue on another leaf art - so many steps! So many small piece! But I was very happy with how they turned out.
Students also completed a Candy Corn math activity on Monday which made our board look nice.
Students did SO well with our bike training this week. On Tuesday we had an in-class session where Lana (our leader) taught us things like the parts of the bike, safety/rules on the road, helmet use, and how to check if our bike is safe to ride.
We enjoyed talking with our Little Buddies about our favourite things to do in the fall. Big Buddies helped the grade 1s write their sentence and then each student drew and coloured a picture of their favourite thing.
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!
Every student in the school coloured an Eagle feather for the bulletin board in the front entrance way. At Brentwood, we soar together!
We take take of ourselves, we take care of this place, and most of all we take care of each other!
