The favorite part, opening the valentine’s!

Thank you to Bransen and Griffin for the tasty party treats!

Our valentine party snack!

Making some valentine cards for our

friends in Mrs. McCarthy’s class!

Creating our own love bugs!

Creating flags continue to be a big interest

at learning centre time.  France (KB)

and United States flags (KA).

Some pictures of the Olympics!

We are keeping a visual count of medals

won in the United States! We also put a

picture on our door when a medal is won

and what sport it was won in.

Working with ten frames!

When Emma grows up she plans to be a Nurse!

When Cohen grows up he plans on being a Firefighter!

Emma surprised the class with a candy-o-gram for everyone!

Thanks Emma!  Bransen surprised Emma with a candy-o-gram from him!  

We had some fun with the red valentine balloon!

Valentine Bingo!!!

We created valentine bracelets

with our grade 4 book buddies!

Bransen, Emma, and Griffin have brought in

their 100 items for our display. They can be sent in anytime.

If the weather cooperates our 100th day will be

Thursday, February 22nd.

February 5 - 9 ~~~ Finishing Up The Mitten & Getting into Valentine's and The Olympics

Our Art wall is looking great with some

decorated mittens after learning with

the book The Mitten by Jan Brett

The children had a great time decorating

our display table for Valentine’s!

Finishing up last week’s work jobs!

Complete the heart by finding the

matching initial sound picture,

cutting it out and gluing it on.

I Love You To Pieces!l

Lots of fine motor happening

here as the children tear of

pieces of different color paper

to glue onto their heart shape!

Print the uppercase letters that

are missing.  Use a letter line if

You wish!

Find and color the hidden words

by color code.  Read the sentence

when finished.  I see three red hearts.

As the children are star of the week,

one question they have answered is

what they want to be when they grow up.

Emily plans to be a Doctor!

Seth is going to be a Police Officer!

Kaden is going to be  a Truck Driver!

The writing centre, some of the amazing

writing that is occurring!

Emily decorated a beautiful heart.

Nevaeh was so proud of herself

For sounding out the word heart!.

Emma was the first one to bring

in the February family project -

Her Valentine Mailbox!  This was

A KA assignment.  It looks

Awesome!

The whole school is going to get

involved in the Olympics.

We watched a little of the opening

Ceremonies.  The children were thrilled

With the lighting of the torch!

KA will be keeping a close eye on

The United States. We got into

The spirit by creating the United States

Flag for our door. KB will be keeping

A close eye on France.

During learning centre time Griffin and

Bransen asked if they could make their own

United States Flag.  Griffin will finish

his next week. And people wonder why

we go through a lot of glue sticks

and scotch tape! :)  

Some learning centre pictures!

Seth was our Star of the Week last

week and I missed getting his

picture taken by the display!

January 29 - February 2 ~~~~ The Mitten , Groundhog Day, and 3D Robots!!!

Grayson and Maddy celebrated their

6th Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Harper wrote the morning message.

Great spacing!

This work job involved making your own

The Mitten story to take home. First you choose

An envelope, trace the mitten onto it,

Be sure to add your name and finally

color and cut out the characters.

Roll the character cube, which

character will race to the top first?

Using word tiles to make the

names of the animals in the Mitten

and The Hat.  Then using buttons

decorate mittens.

This work job involved counting how

Many of each object would fit into a m

Mitten.  The children used a number line

To check to see if they were forming

The numbers correctly.

February 1st, after lunch we were discussing

Groundhog Day. We learned a little song.

Then the children created their own little

Groundhogs.

Our 3D Robot Project Day finally

arrived this is what the mat looked

like as we started.  Thank you for all

the items that you sent in.

As the creation making began,

the only rule was that if you

were making a robot you needed

to have a body, a head, legs, and

arms.  You could add any other

details you wished.

Our finished robots!  The children so

enjoyed making the 3D Robots.

Lots of creativity, fine motor and problem

solving as the children worked.

We set up a 3D Shape Museum.  I will

be sending an e-mail to the staff at school

to see if they and their students could take a

few minutes to view and write a comment on

the 3D Museum Creations. We will leave the

Museum up until parent teacher interviews.

If you could take a minute to write a comment

In the book that would be appreciated.  You will

Also be taking your child’ 3D shape home with

You. We invited Mr. MacDonald up to see the

fun, filled learning that was occurring in the class.

Some learning centre pictures!
