Our Brain!

Today we made our class brain! Each student made a piece of our brain and then put a flag in it with his/her strongest smart. Julie likes how it shows how smart we are! Robert likes how the brain looks!  Griffin likes how it shows each person's smart!

Word Work

At school, we study five common words each week to grow as spellers. On some days, we learn how to write our words the "grade 1 way" which means using lowercase letters, leaving finger spaces between words and making each letter the correct size. On other days, we play spelling games and use wiki stixs to master our words. With practice at home and school, the children will learn to spell many common words correctly.

Different Kinds of Smart

We know that we are all smart! We have been learning about the different kinds of smart (Gardner's Multiple Intelligences) and what our kind of smart is. We all have smooth roads- things that are easy and bumpy roads- things that are tricky. Ask your child what kind of smart he/she is. What kind of smart are you?

Signs of Fall

With our Gr 4/5 buddies and an iPad in hand, the children recorded signs of fall on our playground. They used the app PicCollage to creatively display these images. Happy fall!
