Bonjour Families,
What a fast week this was! We started the week off with an assembly for "Music Monday", where choir students sang their hearts out for all who attended. Then we had visitors, on Thursday, from Quest Theatre. They performed a shadow puppet show called, "We Are Treaty People", followed by a round dance that we all participated in. The students were all thrilled!
The students finished writing and sharing their "Sylvester" stories this week and then got to hear the real ending of this old old story. We started generating ideas for a new story, as a group, and then the students went off to draw 3 different pictures of their new story. Ask your child what their new story is all about. They also completed writing about their 5 senses with spring in mind and completed their accompanying art work of a pot of flowers. Their writing was on the pot with numerous beautiful straw-stemmed flowers sprang from the top of the pot. The grade 1s learned how to make 4 different types of flowers. Ask your child what some of them were made out of and how they made their flowers.
Investigation in math led us to exploring area this week. The grade 1s will be doing a math/art project with this, which should be very interesting and creative. We will explore capacity next week.
Our guided drawing this week was learning how to draw themselves in a portrait with mom. They were all very excited about this! And, of course, they spent a great deal of time working on their Mother's Day projects, while taking a break for Club Friday.
PLEASE REMEMBER: Library Monday morning @ 8:30 am
Enjoy your weekend with your family!
