Bag Up Manitoba!

Our adventure with Bag Up Manitoba has come to an end. The kids in our classroom worked really hard to collect, count, package and recycle 3733 plastic bags... that's 3733 less bags that will end up in Winnipeg landfills this year. This video documents their work and learning. Awesome!

What's Peace?

Our class was reading a book about peace.The book was called What  does PEACE  feel like?
We drew pichtures and then we painted them.
Mrs. Malkoske and Mrs.Remillard  recorded  are voices to make the video.We will show the video on Remembrance Day at the assembly.The video is about  what does peace feel like, taste like ,smell like sound like and look like.

What does peace feel like to you?

What Does PEACE Feel Like?

Last week the children in our class read, talked about, and created this video about PEACE. This video is based on the book "What does PEACE feel like?" by V. Radunsky... with a few small changes of our own. The children in our classroom recorded their story and created beautiful paintings to illustrate it. We will share our video at the Remembrance Day assembly next week.

Awesome Awesome Awesome Day!

Today we had a remembrance day project. We had to paint something that represents peace. I (Tristan) did sour stuff. For the project  I (Jonathon) picked cinnamon. Each table was making a list ideas for Remembrance Day. Each table got their list and did a recording. We're going to make them into a movie. For Remembrance Day me (Tristan) and Jolene went to the Music room to practice our speech for the Remembrance Day assembly next week. We had to make a wreath and lay it down on the stage and do our speech. When Taylor's Grandma and Grandpa came we made the poppies and glued them onto a paper and that was the wreath. We had gym and there were 4 centers. We had choir and it was fun.

Note to Readers: Our "What Does Peace Feel Like?" video will be posted to the blog soon!

AWESOME FRIDAY!

We had gym and we played hallowen games again. We did hallowen paderns at the end of the day. We played a witch game and you had to say how many steps you take. We had 3 recesses. We carved 2 pumpkins. Taylor's Grandma and Grandpa helped us. We made groups, boys and girls, and we had to guess how many seeds were in the pumpkins and then counted. Then we carved the pumpkins. When we were carving the pumpkin, most of us used our hands and not spoons.
