Les guimauves

Today we built 3D shapes using les guimauves et les cure-dents. Our students were able to make cubes and pyramids!

Outdoor literacy and exploration!

Today we extended our morning outdoor play time to practice our writing in the snow! We also brought out magnifying glasses and examined snowflakes and ice. We have been bringing ice and snow into the class to examine it while it melts but this was our first time really exploring it outside together.

Les formes de 3 dimensions

On the topic of winter, we are building les bonhommes de neiges et les igloos. While making these crafts we discussed les sphères et les cubes and their properties.

Notre igloo

We've transformed our maison de pain d'épices into an igloo!

La bibliothèque

Today we took out books from the library. Our students are still familiarizing themselves with the library and where to find books that are appropriate for them. We will be going to the library every Monday so please have the books back by Friday or Monday absolute latest.

Merci!

2D contre 3D

We are continuing our learning of shapes. We have now introduced 3D shapes and are comparing them to 2D. Below is one of our comparison activities on the Smartboard. If you see some of these 3D shapes around the house ask your child if they recognize them. This will help them identify the shapes outside of our class.

Album de famille

Thank you parents and guardians for sending in family photos. We are working on our pages and labelling each member. We look forward to adding this album to our classroom library.

La neige et la glace

We are doing an experiment with ice and snow. We filled these jumbo test tubes and are waiting for them to melt. This has brought up the topics of hot versus cold and solid versus liquid.

We made predictions about what we thought would happen to the snow and the amount of water that would be left after it melted. 

Les formes

One of our shape activities. The students enjoyed using these templates and creating images independently.
