September Welcome

Wow, time has sure flown by already!  My usual first week welcome post is now coming in the third week of school.  We've had a busy couple of weeks in room 26 and I have to say, this group of students is pretty AWESOME.  We have a great group of hard-working, kind-hearted kids with a great sense of curiosity.  I can foresee that we're going to have a great year together!


We welcome Ms. Woods to our class this year.  She is a fifth year student teacher and we're lucky to have her.


We also welcome Ms. G.  She is an educational assistant that works in our room and is a gigantic help to our students!


I am planning to use this blog as more of a means for students to showcase their work and ideas.  I will also share with you exciting adventures that are happening in, and out of, our room.


I hope you're all having a great September!


Here are some pictures from our first weeks together.  #backtoschoolselfie

Oak Hammock Marsh

Our final field trip was a fun, outdoor experience at Oak Hammock Marsh!  There we got to go critter dipping in the marsh to discover different invertebrates and other critters, then we went on a walk to observe all the different plants and animals in the area, and lastly, we learned some fun Indigenous games!  We had a fantastic day learning in nature!

Museum Field Trip

In May, we visited the Manitoba Museum to learn more about Light and do some exploring of the science gallery.  We got to see a light show in the Planetarium, build kaleidoscopes and learn all about reflection and then explore on our own in the science gallery.  It was a really fun day and we sure learned a lot!  Check out our slideshow!

Ms. Steven's Farewell Party

This is a very late post!  We said goodbye to Ms. Stevens, our student teachers, at the end of April.  We sent her off with a great celebration!  We spent the afternoon having fun at the park and then sharing snacks in our classroom.  We sure miss her and were lucky to have her in our class!  Good luck Ms. Stevens!

Litter-less lunches!

Great job on bringing in trash-free lunches!!

TUSC

Hi everyone!  Today was a very exciting day in our class...exciting for Zidane because it's his BIRTHDAY (Happy Birthday again, Zidane!)!  And exciting for the whole class because we had our first TUSC meeting!


TUSC stands for Totally Unique Speaking Club.  Each student has to prepare for a "job" where they have to present on a topic to the class, or take notes (secretary) or evaluate their classmates (general reporter).  Today Kate led our meeting as Chairperson and kept things going well throughout our meeting. 


Everyone presented very well and I know I enjoyed everyone's unique presentations!  Way to go room 26!  Here's some photos from our meeting.
