At the Applebarn
We had a great trip to the Applebarn! The bus was fun and we liked seeing the bunnies, picking our pumpkins and going on the slide! The weather held and we had a beautiful day! A big thank-you to all the parents who helped out!
New Books!
A big thank you to Julia, who brought us SO many new books for our classroom! We love books!

Terry Fox Run
The Terry Fox Run is coming up!
We will be starting with a video and warm up in the gym after Lunch. Then, we will be walking together as a class the school route. As this is their first time on the route, the students will be wearing school pinnies and staying together in a line as we walk the route (which I believe is one km). After we will meet back at the primary playground for oranges. I would appreciate any parent volunteers who can walk with us on this day! Thanks!
There are still many children who do not have their walking field trip form filled out on the portal, please do this as soon as possible.

Fireworks in the Brain
This week, we talked about the way our brain learns new things. We looked at pictures of our brain with its synapses firing. I explained how all learning makes pathways in our brain. If we are at the beginning of learning, we have very small, thin pathways. When we have really learned something well, the pathways are bigger, stronger and faster. We also talked about how it is easier for us to learn if we use both sides of our brain (thinking and feeling) and if we make connections to our own lives, and as well, by practice, practice, practice! Children's brains are wired to make new pathways.
A Brand New Year!
January has flown by! Despite all the illnesses, the children have gotten back into the swing of school quickly and we have had a great time learning about gymnastics, 3-D shapes, winter and "the king of 'ing'"!
As well, we have been working very hard on our self regulation goal of "paying attention, even when it's hard". We have been observing Minerva the Amaryllis as she grows and is just about to flower.
We made castles using some commonly found 3-D shapes, and lots of masking tape! This was a fun activity!
