Static electricity and the day before break

Take a look at what we did today! The best way to teach kids about static electricity and keep them entertained.. Balloon experiments!!!!

Go Canada go!

We are so excited that the winter Olympics are finally here.  Here are some of the things we have been doing in class to show our excitment for SOCHI.

Sorry it's sideways!  Here are some of our own Olympic mascots.  Students choose animals and then wrote about why their animal would make a great Olympic mascot.  They did an amazing job!  They integrated which character traits their mascot had.  They are wonderful!

 Here is our classroom door that we decorated for the contest.  We were given South Korea.  I think they did a wonderful job.

 Here is our Current events corner in our classroom.  Of course it is filled with Olympic information!

Here is the bulletin board right outside our room.  The mascots looked amazing!

Valentine's Day and Dance-a-thon

Happy New Year everyone! Here are some pictures from our first week back! You will see the class participating in desk Pilates, and dinosaur stomping! We read the True Story of Balto and learned how to answer questions about the text. In art, the grade 3's made first nation turtles and the grade 2's made winter landscapes! We also made new learning goals and began our data management unit.
