Thank you to everyone who came out to Meet the Staff. It was so nice chatting with all of you. I hope you enjoyed touring our classroom and seeing all of the great work the students have been doing!
On Friday we got a classroom caterpillar. It was such a busy day that we didn't manage to get a picture of it. Today when we came to school we had a little surprise waiting for us!
Today we continued to learn about our brain! We talked about how our brains grow when we try challenging things. We then made a mashed potato brain to show what a real brain feels like and weighs. The students had a blast. Here is the recipe in case you want to make one at home :)
We had a fantastic first week in Room 19. We've been getting to know each other and learning the classroom rules and routines. This week we started to learn about our brains. We learned that its ok to make mistakes and when we try challenging things our brain grows. In math, we've had a lot of fun reading and making graphs. We made a graph of the different kinds of shoes we were wearing! On Friday we talked about our favourite parts of the first week. The students had lots to share!
Looking forward to many great weeks ahead! Today we had a great (and hot!) first day in Room 19! We did some get to know you activities, played in the gym, explored the classroom, and talked about our first day feelings. We read the book First Day Jitters then had some "Jitter Juice" to make those butterflies fly away. We then made the graph "How do you feel on the first day of School?". I hope everyone has a restful night and comes back tomorrow ready for another great day :)
