Pumpkins with Little Buddies
This year we are little buddies with Mrs. Alsop's Kindergarten class. These photos are from our first time meeting them in October. We made pumpkins for Halloween.
Paper Blogging
Paper blogging helps us to learn about blogging and commenting in the safe and closed environment of our classroom. We learned about 3 different kinds of comments: Dead-end comments, Side-street comments, and Highway comments. We are working on commenting on others' written work in a thoughtful and meaningful way so positive conversations can be had about the work.
Write-On, Wipe-Off Math
Math activities are easy to reproduce when photocopies do not have to be made. Here students are working with write-on, wipe-off page protectors and dice to explore mathematical concepts like multiplication and addition. With partners, they can use any tools of their choice to solve the problems.
A Visit from the Mobile Dairy Lab
The Mobile Dairy Lab visited our school this week and we got to learn all about cows, how they produce milk, and where that milk goes to make our favourite dairy foods like cheese and ice cream!
Mystery Location Skype with Kyle
Kyle, one of our students, has been away this week but kept his whereabouts generally secret from the class. After exploring some mapping terminologies and sharing them on our Twitter page, we worked on developing a set of yes or no questions that we could ask Kyle to pinpoint his location. Students used Google Earth, atlases, and maps and used Kyle's answers to determine that he and his family were in Molokai, Hawaii, USA! The gallery of our 20 minute call is below.
Thanks for taking the time to check out our photo galleries. Please comment below if you have any favourites!
