Making our own homemade bread. Each child added an ingredient into the bag
or bowl for our bread. The yeast bag was
passed around for the children to squish mixing all the ingredients well. The other ingredients were measured in a bowl
and then added to the bag which was passed around again. The last part was kneading and shaping the
bread into loaves by Mrs. Dumville. We
made a loaf for our class and a loaf for the teachers.
|
 |
The warm bread was cut into slices by
Mrs. Dumville with her electric knife.
|
 |
We had butter and jam for the bread. Not
a bite was left!

Miscouche staff and students are excited for all the
educational benefits the newly installed Wifi and Chromebooks have brought into
the school. Teachers were given laptops which will allow them better
access to the tools they need to work at home and school. In addition,
all the educational tools our new Chromebooks have given our students and
teachers is a welcome addition to the learning atmosphere. Students using
their google drives make it easier to access their work from any type of computer
at home and at school as long as they have internet access and google drive
downloaded. Each child has their own login and password. I will send them home as you can login at
home as well. The students also have
e-mail accounts which we will not be using in kindergarten. The technician support man Eric, Ms. B., and
I assisted the children to get logged in and added Starfall.com to their
favorites. The children are relying on their fine motor control skills with the
touch pad.
|
 |
I asked the children to show me a
thumbs up if they liked the new chrome books!
I guess by the response they did.
I will try to sign them out once each week.

Each day we have 5 minutes of quiet
time after big recess. The children are
to look or read books very quietly. It
calms their bodies and get them ready for the remainder of the afternoon.

| Ms. Gard our Literacy coach was in to work on Writer’s Workshop with the children. She read the book Roller Coaster and talked about a small moment of time in your day. The children were asked to write about one small moment that happed at one time. We had made writer’s workshop headbands and the children got right to work the stories were awesome! |

Some learning centre activities. The train track has been a very popular
