Spirit Week

This week our school had our very first spirit week.  Students were asked to wear different colours on Monday, Halloween inspired colours on Tuesday, jerseys and hats on Wednesday, and PJs on Thursday.

Halloween was a blast!  We started off our day with a visit from our learning buddies from Miss. Englot’s class.  With their guidance, the Super Kids explored pumpkins.  We used our developing number sense to estimate and measure how tall our pumpkins were, how much they weighed, would they sink or float, and how many pumpkins tall our learning buddy was!  Our estimating skills have really developed and many kids were pretty close to the actual measurements.

 

After recess we enjoyed rotating through Halloween inspired centres that included witches ring toss, building skeletons, Halloween bingo, and tic tac toe.

   

In the afternoon the “Wood Lily” classrooms rotated through activities in each classroom.  FYI – Wood Lily is the name of our section of the school or what we call our neighbourhood.  We have students from grade 1-4 in our neighbourhood.  When students were in our room they had a STEM challenge.  In group students had to construct a spider bridge that could support spiders (blocks) only using pipe cleaners, tape, scissors, and their imagination.   The bridges spanned between tables.  This was a huge hit!!!!

    

A big thanks to one Super Kid mom that brought us a sweet treat!

PJ day was another opportunity to have a great time learning!  The class graphed their bedtimes, read with flashlights, and continued our measurement focus by estimating and measuring their favourite stuffy.  We just had to read a few bedtime stories too!

  

Flashlights make reading even more fun.  If that’s possible!

Library time was warm and cozy! While Mrs. Nicole read us a great book, Mme Meg joined us on the floor for some relaxing time.

We finished off our crazy week with some choice time centres.  Some Super Kids decided to make homes for their stuffed animals.  It was a zoo…literally!

Take care.
