Creating and Drawing
This boy built a truck, counted the wheels, drew the shapes, then used yarn to design his garage!
Dance and Movement
Students would line up the chairs and take turns modelling their dance move.
Following dance routines from the Smart board has become a favourite for many students!

Some of the student's creations are starting to get more elaborate.
They are using materials from around the room.

This girl is using materials from our BEAUTIFUL STUFF containers.
'Open Art' allows children to use their imagination and create whatever is on their mind!

Celebrating our Learning with Parents and Grandparents
Thank you for all the parent and grandparents who were able to attend on Friday Morning.
A few key reminders to those you were not able to attend:
- The students share an area to hang their coats. Daily children forget to hang their jackets and gather their own clothing. Therefore, please LABEL everything.
- We engage and foster independence. At home, please have your child practise putting on their own winter wear. If possible send MITTENS, not gloves. We have 25 students in the class, gloves would entail us to assist with placing 250 little fingers into 250 finger holes!!!!AAAHHHH
- Physical Education is currently on Friday's. Please send indoor shoes on Friday's. This will change when there is a holiday or PA day.
- We are a SCENT FREE classroom.
- Literacy/Numeracy bags will begin this week. More information will follow.
