Pictures of MOM!

For a project for the upcoming assembly, we are asking that the grade 1 students please bring in a picture of mom to use in a slideshow video about Mother's Day. Please note that this will be seen by the school at an assembly so if you are ok with your picture being seen, please send one with your student as soon as possible this week.

Building Cars!

The grade 1s had a fun challenge yesterday and today. They were asked to build a car using life savers, straws, paper and tape. Could they make a car that would travel at least two meters down a ramp? What about one powered only by wind?

Here is a video of one of our winning teams:

Great Team work you two!

Steve Harmer and Hat Day!

Here are some pictures from the fabulous motivational magic show; Brilliant and Resilient! Steve Harmer had many words of encouragement. Ask your child to name one of the seven Cs!

Hat day was also a success! Thanks to everyone who participated in raising awareness for mental health!

HAT DAY is May 3

Our Week at a Glance!

Thank goodness the sun has finally come outs for us this week! We will be sure to take advantage of it and do some of our learning outside in the fresh air when possible:)

Today the students wrapped up their beaver research by reading through books and other sources of information to find interesting facts about this large rodent. Tomorrow we will begin to compile our information on its diet, appearance, habitat and interesting facts to create a class book. The students have learned a lot; ask your child to share an interesting fact about Canada's favourite animal.

We even have our very own Beaver Mascots in both classrooms that the students can have sit on their desk when they are working particularly hard, or when the students want to practice their letter writing by sending letters to our little friends. We voted and learned how to complete a bar graph in order to decide on the best names for our mascots. The boy is Beavie and the girl is Cutesie! They have been a wonderful addition to the learning environment:)

This afternoon we have Steven Harmer here to do a special magic show for all the students and staff at Ken Taylor school! Ask your child what the best part of the show was.

Wednesday is HAT DAY for Mental Health Awareness! Students may wear any hat to school to support mental health awareness.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week and enjoys this wonderful weather!
