Easter Baskets

We enjoyed filling each others Easter baskets.

Mixed Addition and Subtraction

Today we worked in groups to make up either an addition or subtraction story. Each group had to present their story to the class. The class had to write what the addition or subtraction sentence was on their white boards.

Easter Eggs

We enjoyed decorating Easter eggs. We did 5 different styles. 1. Sponge painting
2. Acrylic Paints 3. Mosaic (with tissue paper) 4. crayon design and dipping 5. dipping with either a sticker face and yarn hair, or sparkles. We loved doing the eggs, and only had a few casualties.

Rock Show

We went to the rock show in Mrs. Ruff's room. The grade 4's were able to tell us many interesting facts about rocks.

Science Fair

We enjoyed going to the Science Fair today. The grade eights had made many interesting discoveries to share with us.

Aboriginal Drummers

Last Friday a group of aboriginal drummers and dancers came to our school and put on a performance for us. They had some very interesting dance steps and costumes, and they told us stories as well. At the end we all got to participate in a "round" dance.

St Patrick's Day

Art

We have been working so hard the last two weeks, doing testing and getting ready for report cards, that we decided to do something fun in art today.

Penny Wars

We have been raising money for Telemiracle by doing a boys vs girls penny war. The girls brought in the most money, giving them the chance to throw pies at our male teachers. Yorkdale raised over 2,000.00 dollars for Telemiracle!

Our blog is working again! Just in time for the Wide Open Robert Munsch Puppet show.
We thought the puppet show was GREAT! They did some of our favourite stories, Murmel, Murmel, Murmel, More Pies, Aligator Baby and many more.
