Hello Everyone!
Here are some highlights from our
week:
Monday there was no school due to the Family Day
holiday. We hoe you enjoyed the long weekend.
On Tuesday the class was excited to have baby
Max visit again during Roots of Empathy. We worked in our journals and also
studied earthworms outside. The class worked on breaking up sentences into
words and then recreating meaningful sentences during our Oral Language Groups.
Wednesday was
Valentines Day! The kids had a fun day. Thanks to the parents who sent in
snacks to share, it always makes these days more special. We had Jodi from UVIC
visiting and she enjoyed her time. The class went on a number hunt during math
and we learned about the First Nations legend of why Mt. Maxwell is bent over
while we were visiting the bog.
Thursday Mrs. Van Riel
was home sick so Mr. B. covered the class. The kids had free choice in gym,
went to Whole School Meeting and Music. Later they learned about shapes in
nature.
Friday was a school day
and was also Ms. Klare’s first day back in our class. The kids practiced their
printing, enjoyed centres time and created natural mandalas outside. Welcome
back Ms. Klare.
Next Thursday we plan
on taking a walking field trip down to Pebble Beach. We will leave the school
at 1pm and be back in time for busses and pick up at the end of the day. If
anyone would like to join us on our adventure please let us know. We always
appreciate an extra adult or two when walking on the road; however we will be
taking the back way so traffic will be light.
