After learning about our community, we collaboratively created our version of the City of Richmond! Each student brainstormed what they wanted to create. All I did was make the road and Fraser River. The rest was created by the students!

Last week was all about pumpkins!

Draw something that is beautiful.

Paper salad anyone? This was a great way to assess my students' ability to use scissors

The next SD38 Math at Home video shares how to make your own chalk and ways to use it to do math on the driveway, sidewalk, etc. Full video here: youtu.be/9AGCKqt5QFE #sidewalkmath #sd38learn

Giving my Valentine's Day bouquet a second life by using the flowers for drawing and watercolour painting!

Spotted a worm during our nature walk!

Starting the morning off with building words we know

Morning provocation to match the snow outside.

What words start with the letter M or have a short "m" sound? After creating this long list together, K/1 students wrote their favourite word on a cue card & drew a picture of the word.

@HTHTRDU came to our class this week to explore the power of light energy. The kids loved it. Thanks for coming!

My students were SO proud of their weaving art. They made their own cardboard looms, learned how to weave with yarn and chose their own sticks from outside. They did such a good job. I'm so proud! #sd38learn

Partners were tasked to read and create a web about how indigenous people were connected to plants OR animals. Through a jigsaw activity, they shared their information with another group who did a different topic. I love seeing students learn from each other!

Challenge: Build a platform that is at least 5cm tall and can hold a pumpkin.

@jnovakowski38 visited our class today to introduce number talks and mental math strategies. What a great way to build computational fluency in math!

Thanks for coming in today! I learned a lot and I'm sure the students did too!

What do you do with a box? You create boats, houses, mailboxes and airplanes that drop parcels from the bottom of the plane!

Getting to know each other by writing similarities on cue cards and creating a tower with it after.

With teamwork and communication, we can lift anything off the ground!

First week activity calls for a paper chain challenge!
