April

We planted seeds because we are studying plants in Science. Some of our plants are growing but not all of them. We planted peas and beans. 

We picked a mood or feeling and wrote about it. Then we had to read it to a partner and see if they could guess the mood! This was part of our Charlotte's Web study. 

We designed bridges. 

We were studying Ancient Egypt and we wrote our names using hieroglyphics. 

We wrote a descriptive paragraph about our friend in class in French. 

We designed our own books about La Petite Charte de la Terre. We watched 8 five minute videos about how to take care of the earth. Each video had an activity to go with it and soon we will bring our books home to show you!

We made cards for a friend in the class to learn about peace. 

We were looking at problems in the environment. We read about pollution as well as keeping our parks and water clean. 

We made an earth day picture. 

One of our centers was to read a French book with Mme on the smartboard. Another one was making words using blocks with different sounds and blends. 

We also played rush hour using a game card and there were three different levels. 

We worked on improving our basic facts by playing games and doing puzzles on Reflex Math!

For problem solving in math, we were figuring out what animals we saw by how many heads and how many feet there were.

We made a poster or advertisement to save Wilbur as part of our Charlotte's Web study. 

Mr. Jayme told us a story about Skullplayer and how he had to save the girls and his brothers. His stories and legends were very interesting. Some of the stories were scary and funny too. He taught us about respect, responsibility, honesty, courage, compassion, kindness and taking care of the earth. 

We are reading stories by Melanie Watt in French. We love Chester!

March

We did some Ancient Egyptian necklace art. We wrote our names using hieroglyphics. 

We wrote our good copies of our fractured fairy tales and presented them to the class in the library. 

We did math centers and we had puzzles with blocks. Another center was Reflex math. We also did tangrams and problem-solving with Mme. 

We had a Zoom call and we learned about an egg farmer. 

We had a lot of fun looking at the egg sorting machine and learning about the chickens. 

We saw where they put all the eggs after they are packaged. 

We were writing about our favourite stuffies in French. We added lots of details. 

We were playing Guess Who in French for French centers. 

Another French center was playing a questions game with Mme Ally. 

We made leprechaun traps the day before St. Patrick's Day!

Did anybody catch a leprechaun?

Here is another art project with four leaf clovers. 

We were painted our clay animals that we made for the houses we designed. 

We were painted a background for a bridge art project. 

On day 1 in the afternoon we borrow iPads from other classes so that we can pick our library books online, do Reflex math and complete projects on apps like Book Creator and Keynote!

On the last day we watched a movie and ate ice cream sandwiches! We also played Minute to Win It games in the morning.
