Spring into Reading!



Come to the Book Fair in Room 139!  
Spring is upon us, here on the west coast of Canada, and our PAC is hosting a book fair next week! This is a fundraiser for the library so every book purchased helps our library to buy new books.  Why not hop on down to the book fair and spring into reading?!

Beautiful colour wheel flowers have sprouted in the library learning commons!
Like mice?  Look for the mice stories on display this week.

Be Kind!

Today is anti bullying day! We had a wonderful assembly where many classes presented songs, poems and stories to teach us all to be kind to others. The choir sang beautifully and I was so proud of them!  (Our music teacher, Mrs. McReavy and I practice with the choir every Wednesday at lunch.)   I was amazed at the variety of pink shirts today so I've made a pic collage of some of them.
Here's a link to the video we watched: http://safeshare.tv/w/mevNbNFYmC

Learning through Play

This week we have been exploring symmetry and being creative with the iPad app,  Geoboard by The Math Learning Center.  Students were challenged to make their name, an object, or a design and just play with the app. There were many "aha" moments as students figured out how to use the many features of the app. You can try out Geoboard on your computer or download the app.  It's free!
Here are some of their creations:
Have you tried Geoboard?
