1C and Mike's Critters

Grade One are about to embark on their new Science unit... SPIDERS!
To  kick start our new topic, Mike came to visit today, and he brought some hairy, wriggly and creepy crawly friends! 1C met, petted and even held some arachnids and insects. They had so much fun and learned a lot. They also asked some very thoughtful questions. Please enjoy these pictures.

Jonathan Berkowitz's Math Ballet

Jonathan Berkowitz came to teach our Grade Ones all about the fasicnating and mind expanding bridge between numbers and words. He likes to call it Math Ballet, although that's a working title! The students were inspired and delighted with all that they learned!

3D Math Fun!

Grade 1C and their Grade 7 buddies had fun constructing 3D solids using toothpicks and plasticine.  The results are impressive!
The students also built towers using wooden 3D solids and then graphed how many of each shape they used!

They took part in various fun activities, including making 100 glasses and threading 100 "Froot Loops" onto a string to create a necklace.
