Counting our classroom

We are moving into looking at numbers and counting. Today, our first activity was a challenge: students were asked to 'count the room'. They worked hard to count how many chairs,desks,carpet squares and turtles (!) were in the room.

Happy thanksgiving!

Wishing all of our grade 1 families a happy long weekend!

5 senses with Scuba Charlotte

We had a great presentation this morning! Students became 'scientists' and moved through 5 stations to learn about their 5 senses.

Thank you very much to the parent volunteers who helped run the stations! 

We will continue to bring in activities like these throughout the year where help is always appreciated!

Silent Sits outside

As part of our work getting ready for Nature School, we brainstormed today about what a 'silent sit' looks like and sounds like. Students came up with a checklist to see how they did after 3 minutes of sitting outside looking for 5 different fall colours.

We used hula hoops to define our sit spot, and we did a great job! After we came in, we used our sketchbooks to draw the colours we saw.
