BOOK TOUR

Today we took our beautiful books on tour! We visited Mrs. Straub's kindergarten classroom, and Ms. Cory's grade one room. The students did a wonderful job sharing their creations!

Wizard Wand Workshop

WE ARE BACK!!

Welcome back to our blog! We are so excited to share some of our learning and explorations with you.  Let's catch you up a bit, and show you a few of the discoveries and adventures we have had so far...

Our Milk Experiment

This is how you can do the milk experiment at home...

Put some milk in the bottom of a shallow pan.

Add a few drops of food colouring.

Drizzle in some dish detergent, or put it on a Q-tip and touch the spots of food colouring.

Watch what happens!

Nature Exploration

We love to explore nature!

The Great Toothpaste Challenge!

We love to start the year by teaching our new team to work together! In this toothpaste challenge, teams had to work together to squeeze all of the toothpaste out of the tube, and onto a plate. The tricky part came when I asked them to try putting all of the toothpaste back into the tube!! It was a lesson to remind us to choose our words wisely, because sometimes once the words come out...they can be hard to put back.

Our visit with Bearded Lizards!

We were very luckily to have TWO Bearded Dragons come to visit our classroom. The students asked so many wonderful questions! We got to to touch them, watch them eat crickets, and observe them in our classroom for the day! 

Seashell Exploration

Thanksgiving Fun with Apple Turkeys

Magic Mud!

Who knew that a mixture of cornstarch and water could be so much fun!

Halloween Learning Stations with Room 23

Pumpkin Carving!

Drama with Daina

We were very lucky to Daina come in and teach us some drama and mime.

Our visit to the Manitoba Museum!

What will happen if we put white carnations in coloured water?

Earth Day Dioramas with Lynne Mulvihill

We always love getting the chance to collaborate with local artists. Lynne Mulvihill is a wonderful environmental design artist and architect here in Winnipeg. She came to our class to help us build dioramas of healthy and unhealthy environments in nature. We had wonderful discussions about ways we can help the planet, and had a great time creating our pieces. We hope that Lynne will come back to visit us again soon!

Taking pictures of patterns! By Logan C. & Rylie

It is Math Spirit Week! Today we took pictures of patterns on the IPads. Every person got to take 5 turns each. It was a lot of fun! We are going to use the pictures to make a book about patterns.
