Hello March!

March greeted us with some fierce wind and cool temperatures which meant. . . indoor recesses. The students enjoyed the option of getting in some movement with Go Noodle and also being able to have some choice time. We did an owl craft and we thank Ms Turner and her student teacher Miss Bauschke for the supplies. During the craft we discussed objects and materials which we have been working on in science. Pattern blocks are hugely popular with many of the students in room 2. The creativity shown is fabulous. We were able to see our Grade 4 buddies to do some reading this week. I think our big buddies enjoyed  hearing some of the poems and songs we have been practicing. Mrs. Slukynsky came to talk to the Grade 1s about nutrition. We were able to sort pictures into the four food groups. The first week of March has been filled with lots of learning and fun. Next week we have student led conferences. We are looking forward to sharing with our families.
