Mini Colour Unit

Throughout the past few weeks we have read:

1. The Crayon Box That Talked

2. The Day The Crayons Quit

3. The Day The Crayons Came Home

Throughout this mini unit we have been focusing on colour words, primary/secondary colours, All About Me, & Feelings. 

After reading these stories we discussed how we each have unique qualities that bring us together as a class. We explored the theme of our identity and diversity. We also explored data analysis through graphing our favorite colours. Throughout the month of September each student brought an All About Me Bag and shared their favorite things with the class. 

Mindfulness in the Classroom

Throughout the school year we will be incorporating mindfulness activities in the classroom.We started off by reading, "Good Morning Sunshine," by Trina Markusson.  Last week, we chose our mindfulness critters to help us with our belly breathing.Throughout the year we will be learning different mindfulness strategies that will be incorporated in our daily routines. 

Happy Earth Day!

We celebrated Earth Day on April 18th by completing a variety of activities. We went on a nature walk/scavenger hunt and learned about the reducing, reusing and recycling. We also made worms in dirt where we learned how to sequence steps and about the changes that occur when we mix different types of matter together. We also spent the day saving power in our classroom by using flashlights and natural light! 

Saving Sam

This week in Social Studies, we learned about problem solving & team work. Students had to communicate and work together to save Sam. In order to save Sam, they had to use a paper clip (not their hands) to get Sam back in his boat with his life jacket (life saver) on. 

Mindfulness

Throughout the month of October we have been incorporating mindfulness in the classroom. We started off by reading, "Good Morning Sunshine," by Trina Markusson. Then, we created mindfulness jars and chose our mindfulness critters to help with belly breathing. On October 17th, we were lucky enough to have Trina Markusson visit the school where she provided us new strategies on how mindfulness can be used throughout the school day and at home. We will continue integrating mindfulness throughout the day and we will be learning new mindfulness strategies throughout the year. 

All About Me

Ms. Papic completed her first Health/Social Studies unit, "All About Me," last week. A variety of Health & Social outcomes were covered throughout this unit. To finish the unit, the students brainstormed and reviewed various activities. 

 

All About Me

Miss. Papic picked up Health/Social Studies as her first subject to teach for internship. She is currently teaching an "All About Me" unit where the students are exploring identity and what makes them unique.

Safety First!

We are learning about safety in Health! Last week we went on a community walk where we looked for safety signs and practiced safe walking.
