Decorating and Singing!

Today, we painted some Christmas ornaments while listening to some groovy music! We tried to add detail by using different colours of paint, and even added jewels. Christmas is less than a month away! We're all looking forward to having holly, jolly Christmas! - Room 4

Winter Wonderland

Here is our finished product! We used a variety of mediums to complete this art, including oil pastels, construction paper, coloured paper and even salt! We'll have them up until Student-Led interviews so parents/guardians will be able to see them up close then!!! - Mrs. Steinhoff

Christmas Play

For Daily 5, many students in our class have decided to create a play. They will present "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" during our Room 4 Christmas Talent Show! Today they had a table reading, where they practiced their lines. It's important to note that all of this work is student-led and created!!! Great job!!!

New York City Winter Wonderland

In class we were making New York City winter skylines. This art was once again, inspired by Rebecca Stead's Liar and Spy. We used oil pastels to tint colours. We are really enjoying this book.

The main characters are Georges (with an "s"), Safer and Candy. They are currently trying to figure out who Mr. X is and what he's up to. Safer and Candy are homeschooled so they have all the time in the world to spy on the people in their apartment. We are enjoying doing the craft and reading the book. We'll be sure to show you the finished product. - Room 4 Students

All About Canada

We are making a booklet about the provinces and territories of Canada. It is fun. We are researching about their flowers, birds, and flags. We are also comparing the populations, locations, climates, lakes/waterways and physical characteristics. We enjoy working together and are looking forward to sharing the finished product. - Grade 4 Students

Canada and its people

We have been learning about different aboriginal groups of Canada. Today, we looked at the Algonquin and Iroquoian groups. We will be writing a "day in the life" journal entry from their perspectives for Social Studies. -Students in Grade 5

Remembrance Day, Seurat and Music

We are making Seurat-inspired paintings in honour of Remembrance Day. We got the idea from the book we are reading in ELA called Liar and Spy by Rebecca Stead.

Diorama-Rama!

Right now, we are making dioramas. It is a lot of fun and a lot of work. Grade 4's are doing animal habitats and grade 5's are doing human habitats. So far it has been a great day. There is a lot of cool and creative ideas at work! Hoping to see them finished by the end of the day! - Room 4 Students
