November Senior Buddy Visit

 We had a great visit with our grade 1 and 2 friends and senior buddies.   Together we built puzzles and made name tags.  We enjoyed an early Christmas cookie for snack!  Here are some pictures:

Happy Halloween

Today was a special day filled with Halloween Activities.  With a partner we viewed, sketched and wrote about  our pumpkins.  We measured and made a plan for carving our pumpkins.  Together we estimated and counted our pumpkins seeds.  A parent volunteer roasted them and they were deliscious! The creation station was running and we made 3D pumpkins and spiders out of construction paper.  We had fun on the parade and saw our senior buddies dressed up! What a fun Halloween!

Harvesting Our Garden

Yesterday, we picked our yummy beets, carrots and parsnips.  Today, we cleaned and washed our beets and carrots.  We ate the carrots (red, yellow, white, orange and purple) raw. They were so crunchy and sweet! A parent helped us boil the beets. They were easy to peel after they are cooked.  We enjoyed them with butter.  All the produce from our garden tasted deliscious!

First Senior Buddy Visit of the Year

First we mingled and introduced ourselves to our senior buddies.  Next, we played Halloween Bingo.  Then we drew a Halloween scene with our senior buddies while we listened to Halloween tunes. We finished off our visit with  special cucpcakes and juice.  Our class really enjoyed visiting our senior buddies!

Leaf Hunting Adventure

Today we went leaf hunting for an art activity.  We created animal or fall themes for our Thanksgiving cards. Here are a few pictures. 

Peace Rally and Walk

We started off with singing, Peace With Me by Jake Chenier while we walked around the Human Rights Museum.  Over one thousand, two hundred students were organized into a circle where we exchanged peace cards.  Jake Chenier performed songs while we ate lunch. We had lots of fun dancing!
Here are some pictures from the day.
