Welcome to a FANTASTIC FRIDAY!

We began the day in the Gym with our House Team-mates for Opening Exercises and House Points. The Cross-country runners were also recognized for their great accomplishments at the Dufferin County meet yesterday.

Back in the classroom, after completing all other morning jobs, Gunner helped us through calendar time. Great job, Gunner - especially when you said you wanted to think a bit longer before getting help :)

We had a serious “chat” about this year’s first spelling dictation for JK and SK. I reminded the students that it is OK to be nervous and it is OK to make mistakes. That is how we learnJ Everyone did a great job after all!

Following snack and recess, we heard the story called “Pumpkin Hill” and then completed our work on our Pumpkin Life Cycle posters.

After lunch we made paper bag scarecrows and we got so involved that we forgot to have GYM time! In fact, I just realized that this very moment! I guess no one else remembered either because there was no mention of it. Our scarecrows are beautiful! The children LOVED being given permission to rip up newspaper to stuff into their bags.

French was after the last recess today as Mr. P. was away at a conference and we had to do some re-adjusting in Madame’s day!

Once again today, it was a very short playtime and 200 extra house points for the students who cleaned up and packed up for home quickly – including water bottles and shoes away for the weekend! All in all a very satisfying day!!!!



You can't see the arrows but everyone showed the cycle, by drawing arrows in exactly the right sequence!



Scarecrow friends!

 

 

Pattern-making!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
