How can a whole week have passed by without me letting you know what has happened in our classroom? We have just been so busy, having a wonderful time learning and keeping busy!
A glyph is a type of pictorial representation of information. Our Grade Six buddies came to our class last week and helped each Grade One student create a gingerbread person that presented their interests and family. Can you read this gingerbread glyph using the chart above?
Tomorrow, our Grade Six buddies will be joining us again, this time to hep us make our little gingerbread houses. We love our buddies!
Snowflake has been busy as well. Here she is last Friday, riding a reindeer...
and on Monday, she brought us a puzzle to put together!
We couldn't find her anywhere in our classroom on Tuesday, but then when we turned on our SMARTBoard, we found a message from her. We took the hint and visited 'the big guy' who runs our school and sure enough, there was Snowflake and about another half dozen elves.
They had been very busy! They wrapped up all the furniture in our principal's office.
Silly elves!
Yesterday, we found Snowflake on top of the speaker above our window
and today she was trying to be in disguise....as a reindeer.
The Student Leadership group brought us a treat today....we think it was for getting all those socks into the bins last week. Look carefully....what's unusual about our desks?
We all got a cup of hot chocolate! It was yummy!
We have been exploring colour in our science lessons.
Today, we tried mixing some colour to find out what would happen.
In this bowl, there are the colours blue and red.
Look what happened! The bowl has purple in it, now that the blue and red are mixed together!
Here are the colours that we made....
red + yellow = orange
yellow + blue = green
blue + red = purple
THANK YOU to all the parents who brought their children to the best night ever. I loved our Advent mass on Monday evening. I teared up every time those darlings sang. Our music teacher certainly knows how to bring the gift of song to us through our students' voices!
