We can do hard things! Positive affirmations continue to be an important part of my classroom this year 🩷

Such an amazing day of learning and exploring at the Calgary Zoo! Students observed local animals, documented animal movement, and learned all about basic needs. It was the best day! ☀️

[Mrs. A Berg @MsVanderlinde]

I can… identify and describe how animals move along different pathways.
Students created flip-books to explore and record different animal movements and pathways! #gradeonelearning

After participating in an author study exploring Barbara Reid, students were inspired to create art of their own. Each student was given a recycled plastic lid to frame their art. As you can see, each piece is individual and tells a story. Thank you @barbreidart for inspiring us!

Feeling grateful for fresh air and our big buddies!
Fresh air Friday was a success! We had a blast exploring and sketching the environment around us, using our 5 senses to guide our sketching. #wearecbe #freshairfriday
