What is inside the golden eggs? Our grade two class had to figure this out. There was only one request.. do not open the eggs!! Our class used lots of descriptive words today! 😁🐰 @NWIAcademy @NLESDCA

After learning how to take care of the Earth, we made pictures of it! This lovely student wanted to draw a comparison of a good and bad Earth. One side is bright and colourful, and the other is broken and polluted. Awesome job L! 🌎🌲@WillGillettAcad @NLESDCA

Learning how to balance different weight calls for a challenge: what can you balance on one centre block? Then we changed up our structures for more experimenting! ⚖️

Another challenge was to not bump into the table😂

100th day celebration this week with a challenge: what can be built with 100 toy straws and connectors? Turns out it’s a tower touching the ceiling! We made sure our class mascot Spikey was along for the ride (our orange duck) 💯🧡 @WillGillettAcad

Hip, Hip, Hooray! It’s TWOSDAY!! The students were making celebration crowns today as the clock turned 2:22 PM on our 02/22/22 day! Had to take a fun selfie with a student just as he was finishing up his crown! 🥳2️⃣🥳 @WillGillettAcad @NLESDCA

How lucky am I to get to join Miss Parrells class for library on Valentine’s Day during their class celebration! We read “The Littest Cupid” because even the tiniest friends can have the biggest hearts 🥰💗💕@l_parrell

[Laura Parrell @l_parrell]

Today we held our own in-class puppet show! Students created their own puppets, watched examples of puppet shows for ideas (the Muppets!), and planned a storyline together. A great way to end off our week! 🎭🎞 @WillGillettAcad @NLESDCA

[Laura Parrell @l_parrell]

@desiraeburden @ConnieMMorrison @WillGillettAcad The student’s loved their story books! Lots of giggles and smiles when we read them in class seconds after receiving them! 😊

Special thanks to local author and illustrator Raeann Brown for reading “Bedtime in Nunatsiavut” to my K/1 class today! The students loved the story and illustrations ♥️ Thank you Labrador Creative Arts Festival for the opportunity! ☺️ @LBArtsFest @NLESDCA @WillGillettAcad
