Halloween

Thank you so much to all of you that donated treats and craft materials for the kids Halloween party. The kids are so excited, I don't even try to teach them anything today. We did have computer lab, though - it's a good thing to take a party break sometimes.

I hope you all have a safe and Happy Halloween. Let's hope the sun comes out to keep us warm and dry.

our day today

Today we start with a Halloween riddle before we move on to our Art activity. We will be using our creative expression, fine-motor coordination and expressive language while making an art piece using a technique similar to crayon-resist. The morning class will have gym where they work on star jumping from a height. The afternoon class has library/health. We will also be watching a Halloween movie.

Have a great day,
Miss Mynes

a request

If you have any old candles hanging around at home, feel free to donate them to our class as soon as possible. I would love to do an art activity, similar to crayon resist.
Thanks in advance,

This weeks theme is Halloween. All of our riddles will be about Halloween vocabulary. I had to cancel our art project for today as I could not find an essential part of the project, so we will do our writing folders today and do art later in the week. In gym, the morning class will be working on their balance. The afternoon class will be voting on which student they thing is most responsible. We will be watching a movie that shows us about some of the work of UNICEF to inspire us with the UNICEF fundraising. The afternoon class has library today.

Have a great day,
Miss Mynes

Today we are continuing our theme of Big Zoo Animals. We are working on printing the number 2 as well as doing number walks in the classroom to record all the numbers we can find. The morning class has library and the afternoon class has gym where they will be working on sustaining aerobic activity for 5 minutes. I will be out of the classroom at the end of the day to meet with my colleagues to unpack the EQAO data. An occasional teacher will cover my class, I believe it will be Ms. Bonvallin.

Have a great day,

Halloween

On October 30th, we will have a Halloween party in our class. The children can dress in a costume if they wish and we will make Haunted Pizza. Instead of buying treats for your child to share with their friends for the party, consider sending in some things to help with our Haunted Pizza. We will need sugar cookies, vanilla pudding, crushed chocolate wafer cookies or crushed Oreo cookies and gory treats to decorate the pizza - for example gummy worms, lady fingers, gun drops.

Thanks for your support,
Miss Mynes

Friday

On Friday, at 1:30, the whole school will meet in the gym to watch a play called The Raven Stole the Sun based on a traditional story of the Tlingit Nation. It is being preformed by Red Sky. For parents of morning students, feel free to join us in the gym with your child for the performance.
