Did you know that before pumpkins were widely available, people carved turnips and potatoes?
Today we learned all about the history of Halloween ๐
So if your child comes home and asks to carve a turnipโฆ let them!
Last week we made a Roll-A-Monster! Everyone got to roll a die and create a spooky monster. I also asked them to give their monster a name :)
It was super fun and everyone loved it! We have some really creative minds in grade 2!
Try it out!
We had a lot of fun today trying to figure out if oobleck is a solid or a liquid.
โBut Miss, itโs both!!โ
Under all that liquid is a pretty hard substance! If you pick it up and squeeze it, youโre left with a solid! Such a nice addition to our science unit โบ๏ธ
I finished my first week at @PearsonAcademy1 with a lovely group of Grade 2s! Today we recognized Orange Shirt Day by reading Stolen Words and talking about the history of residential schools. We also made these shirts to show that we matter becauseโฆ
Another school year has started! I hope everyone has a fabulous year and Iโm hopeful Iโll see some of my past students in my subbing adventurers! โบ๏ธ
Ashley, I can truly say I have learned from the best!!! and thank you to @Hazelwood_Elem for having me these past 3 months. you have all made a lasting impact on me and I am so grateful for the opportunities I was given as a part of the Hazelwood community! stay gorgeous!
I love these kids so much! over the past 10 weeks I have grown so close with every one of them. they will inspire me for the rest of my career. itโs not a goodbye, just a see you later! โค๏ธ special thanks to @Ashleyvincentst for helping me every step of the way!
One of my favourite parts of this internship has been sharing my interests with the kids through our morning meetings. Today we watched the livestream of Earth from the ISS! Itโs been awesome sharing my love of space with them! ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๏ธ
For their end of unit project, the grade 4โs created their own musical instruments! They had to be able to show different pitches and loudness on their instrument. Great job, friends!! โค๏ธ
Last week for Pink Shirt Day we did an activity where our friend, Jaunita the Apple, got bullied pretty badly :( the kids saw the effects of bullying and learned that we can never undo the damage of hurtful words!
