Variety Showcase and Cross Grade Activity

We had a Variety Showcase yesterday. I played my guitar, Mikayla played the piano and Hailey did her hoops routine. I had to practice a lot. I played the song Dirty Deeds. We had to play in front of the whole school and the parents. I felt a little bit scared. I think I did good. All the performances were really good.

Our whole school read with their little buddies yesterday. We had popsicles first and then we read. My little buddy read Fantastic Planet. We read with our buddies a lot. My buddy has improved so much. I can tell just by the books she is reading.

Little Buddies

We finally got together with our little buddies in grade 1. It is so nice to see connections being made with the older and younger students in our building. For our first visit we read to each other. We can't wait for all the fun experiences we will have together this year!

Mask Making

For our AAA project each class wrote a Pourquoi Tale. First each class picks a question and in your story you have to answer your question. All the questions are about animals. Our classes question is how the buffalo got its horns. In your story there are two rules: no humans and the animals have to be Manitoba animals. After you write your story you get to make masks for your animal. Before we made our animals we had to sketch it out. We got to pick our animals. Some people have to make their animal have an expression. My animal is the buffalo and I don’t have to make an expression. There are five people playing the buffalo but just different expressions. There was lots of craft stuff to use. I used wool for the fur, beads for the eyes, cardboard for the ears, and a container, ribbon, and tissue paper for the snout. There were lots of other things you could use too like feathers, bells, egg cartons, cotton balls, pastels, Styrofoam balls, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, and jewels. Lots of people were really creative and used lots of different materials. Soon we will be presenting our story to different classes and going to see different class’s stories. I can’t wait to see what the other classes stories are!      By Renee

Little Buddies

This week we had little buddies. When we got there we were going to decorate gingerbread men. Ms.Kohut told the steps that we had to go by. Then we had to go wash our hands and come back and then we would have to wait until our buddies were at a table till we could go and sit by them. Then when everyone was sitting by their buddy we would wait till we got the gingerbread man and then we would wait for the icing then we would get the candies and then we started decorating the cookie. Whatever we had left we could eat like icing and candies. Then when everybody was done making their cookies we were able to eat the gingerbread men. When everybody was done eating there gingerbread men we were able to either color, connect the dots or read and me and my buddy chose to read. We read the gingerbread man and it was a good book to read after what we did.

Little Buddies

Today for little buddies we read a poem called, "The Owl" and we made paper owls. It was great to see the students read the poem with actions and create their owl. Thanks Ms Wasney for sharing this activity with us!

Welcome Buddies!

Our Little Buddies came to our classroom this week. We were able to listen to them read poems from their poetry books. Then the grade 5's and grade 1's worked hard at finding rhyming words in the poems. Thanks for spending time with us! Which poem did you like the best?

Little Buddies

Mrs. Tresoor’s class is little buddies with Mrs. Kohut’s class. My little buddy is a girl named Kate. I'm hoping that if we read more she will become a book worm like I am by the end of the year. Kate is really nice and I can’t wait until next time we have little Buddies! Last time we read a book Kate picked out. It was about a girl that had to spend the summer with her Aunt. We didn’t really read a whole lot because the book had some French in it so I had to explain it to her. We do little buddies so little kids learn to trust bigger kids. We also do little buddies so we can set good examples for them.  I always look forward to next time!

What's new?

Here's a peek into Room 30. A few students volunteered to talk about some things we have been doing over the last few days. Their comments were videotaped and have been included in our Animoto! Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend everyone! Gobble....gobble.

 

Game Day

Today we had a session with our little buddies. We brought in board games to play. Some people played cards, there were also games like Candyland, Sorry, Guess Who, Trouble, and many more. Some people were introduced to games they had never played before, and others played games that they haven't played for a while. It was fantastic! I think evryone enjoyed it. Our little buddies had a great time and so did we.

Happy Earth Day!

On Thursday we decided to help clean up the playground with our Little Buddies. Everyone did a great job chipping in to pick up the litter that didn't find its way into the garbage cans. I have to say our playground looks terrific. Thanks for all the help in taking care of our school yard.

Little Buddies: Story Chains

Yesterday we made story chains with our little buddies. The story we read was How the Chipmunk got his Stripes. It was about a bear that said he could do everything. Then a little brown squirrel dared him to make the sun not rise the next day. But it did and the little brown squirrel teased the bear. That made the bear angry and he scratched the brown squirrel down his back. After the brown squirrel got away and slept for winter. When the squirrel woke up for spring, white hair grew back where he was scratched. So when we  started  our chain we did the very first part, then we did the end and three things in the middle. My little buddy Kaitlyn. J thought of what to write and I wrote it. After we had to make a picture for the story as you can see in the picture. My little buddy did the brown squirrel and I did the bear. Though my little buddy left a little bit after the picture, it was still the highlight of my day.

Friendship Knots

On Febuary 10 we made friendship knots. We made friendship knots for our little buddies in Mrs Kohut's class because they are our friends. I will tell you how to make one. First you get a colored paper and you write there name on the top. After that you write a nice message and sign your name on the bottom.You can draw a little picture if you want. Then you fold it like acordeoin. When you are done doing that you fold the paper so it looks like a knot. And that is how you make a Friendship knot. On Tuesday Febuary 14 we went to our little buddies classroom and gave our friendship knot to our buddies. They liked it when we gave the friendship knot to them. I hope you enjoy the video.
