Can you believe we're fast approaching the final four weeks of school? I know I can't!
We've got a very exciting next few weeks coming up and we've had a lot going on in the Wolves' classroom these past several weeks!
Happy Birthday to Caroline, Alex Henry who celebrated birthdays this spring! Speaking of spring, we've been outdoors a lot, enjoying the sun when we can. On Thursday, May 17th, the Wolves participated in National Outdoor Classroom Day that was organized by Mrs. Richardson! It was a lot of fun; the Wolves learned some new games, got some writing inspiration and learned about respecting nature. Thanks to Mrs. Richardson and all of the leaders/volunteers who made this day so successful! :)
Over the past month, we have been super fortunate to have the help of Ms. Belinda - a social worker who was doing some training about the role of the educational assistant (EA). Ms. Belinda was helping out in our classroom for two periods a day, so we really got to enjoy having her around, and we really are going to miss seeing her smiling face and helpful personality! All the best as you wrap-up your school year, Ms. Belinda! :)
As you know, we've got a field trip coming up on Wednesday! We'll be heading to Pictou Landing First Nation School to visit the P/1/2 class and learn a little bit about their school. We have been pen-pals with this class for the past few weeks! It should be interesting to actually meet the people we've been writing to! Here we are receiving letters below:
During our Math learning, we've been working on getting belts for our addition ninjas, looking at how addition and subtraction work across tens and ones places as well as discussing symmetry and halves. Below, you'll see the Wolves finding and explaining lines of symmetry, as well as explaining some of our addition/subtraction games to Mrs. Fraser's class:
Over the past couple of weeks, the Wolves have also been paired up with a student from Mrs. Fraser's class, to take on the task of completing an animal research project. Students had to choose and animal, find information about that animal in a book (using an index), summarize and record important information about the animal, draw it, create a clay portrait of it and finally, students will present their animal projects this coming week. I'm very proud of how awesome the Wolves have done with their research! Stay tuned for videos/photos of our presentations! :)
The Wolves also paired up with students from Ms. Beck's class to do some partner reading. We'll hopefully continue with this in the coming weeks, as it's always nice to explore reading with different people! :)
We found a new game that our class is just AWESOME at. It's called "I have, who has" and the Wolves will practice spelling words with their own decks this week.
Finally, we'll wrap up this post, with a little taste of one of our recent music lessons with Ms. Emmy. Thanks for being such an awesome Music Teacher, Ms. Emmy! :)
