Catching Up

Since the Christmas break there has much going on in our classroom. From learning how to create art using geometric transformations (tesselations), beginning to formulate an understanding of how a nonfiction picture book is written so the students can write their own, using twitter type communication to discuss our connection to early ancestors, and having some fun through curling and soapstone sculpting the class has been buzzing. 
I am looking forward to watching them grow academically and socially in the coming months!

Using 2D transformations to create tesselations. This painting was completed at home on canvas continuing her learning outside of school.

Learning to sweep during our first curling session.

Using the concept of 140 character tweet to communicate their thinking and wonderings in connection to our early ancestors.

We brought the sun into our room after days and days of rain by having a beach themed day. We pushed away the rain for a day and boy did it feel good!
