They had to work as a team to find the numbers from 1-100 in order but by taking turns. They had to find strategies that helped them work more efficiently as a team in order to find more numbers. They had 3 rounds of this and most teams did improve every round! Les élèves se sont amusés à être compétitifs pendant cette activité de mathématiques en groupe. Ils ont dû travailler en équipe pour trouver les nombres de 1 à 100 en ordre, mais à tour de rôle. Ils devaient trouver des stratégies qui les aidaient à travailler plus efficacement en équipe afin de trouver plus de nombres. Ils ont fait 3 rondes et la plupart des équipes se sont améliorées à chaque tour ! Mme Sydney's class building relationships through playIn grade 1/2 we have been practicing how to be safe, respectful and doing our personal best when reading by ourself and with a partner. We have also been spending some time building relationships through play! mme Christine's classWe started the year learning about Line. Students observed, described and formed a variety of lines (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, dotted, dashed, zig zag, wavy, etc.) on their paper. Next they made their pictures “pop” by adding 3-D lines to form Line Art Sculptures. Mme Charm and Mme Rikki's classWe started the year with Name Patterns. Not as easy as you think! The students wrote their names several times on a grid and then chose colours to create patterns with their names. mr seeley's classWe started the year with Printmaking. Each student designed a Coat of Arms and etched it onto a piece of styrofoam. Next they cut out their shield and used a brayer to roll the ink onto their creation. They then carefully placed their Coat of Arms onto a coloured piece of construction paper and gently peeled it back to reveal a print! Sources of Strength in 7/8E with mme CandaceIn 7/8E, we have begun the Sources of Strength program with Mme Candace. We started with identifying things that bring us joy in our own lives, discussing what it means to be ‘resilient’, and learning how to do a talking circle. We will be continuing to participate in this program weekly as we work toward developing ourselves as a strength-based community full of resilient individuals.

pbisThe start of the school year is such an exciting time for everyone! So many things to look forward to! We already had the opportunity to get together as a whole school for our first assembly of the year! As we get started this school year we want to ensure that everyone knows what is expected of them not only in the classroom but also in the hallways, bathrooms, playground, when coming and going from the building, buses and also safety with electronics. We take the time to teach English and Math so it is also important to take the time to teach the social expectations of our school. Teachers will be spending some time over the first two weeks of school going over and practicing all of the expectations. We will continue to review these throughout the year as needed. All of the expectations fall under three categories: Safe, Respectful and Personal Best. Here is our rubric: LIl' Voyageurs & P'tits voyageursMme. Joelle will be teaching both the P'tits Voyageurs and Lil' Voyageurs program this year for our Kindergarten and maternelle students. A reminder that P'tits Voyageurs/Lil' Voyageurs will be starting September 20. Mme. Joelle looks forward to meeting everyone!
