All our Year 2 kindergartens have had a chance to visit a grade one class this week to get a sneak peek of what learning will look like next year. Big thank you to all the teachers and grade one students for being so welcoming! We are excited to start in the fall! @StMartinOCSB

We had some SK friends come visit to check out what Grade 1 Math is all about!

Ss- Sand Day ( le sable). Students engaged in a variety of activities with sand today, outdoors in the morning before it got too hot and inside writing and drawing in coloured sand, sifting through sand for treasures and letters, and drawing and crafting with sand too!

Hh- Hat day. Such fun hats today.

We extended our game day in the gym where we became game pieces and tried to move our team from end to end with the roll of a number cube and some hops in the hoops. Land in the same square as a friend they head for home and start again.

Gg-Game day (first non-bilingual word/ letter day 😔). But so much learning happens when playing games. Turn taking, winning/loosing, counting, cause and effect, letters, questioning, gross and fine motor so much more! Thanks to all who sent in games lots of fun learning was had!
