We have a lot to be thankful for ...

The Grade 1/2 class has been learning about proper sentence structure and punctuation.  We practiced our sentence writing skills this week as we wrote about all of the things that we are thankful for.   Many students were very thankful for their family, friends, and school.  Students were also thankful for all of the trips that we have taken this year.  We  have learned so much from our trips to Little Cat Creek and the Fall Fair.  Students were also very thankful for their after school clubs, teams, and activities.  Many students listed soccer and hockey as activities that they are very thankful for.  School subjects were also very popular in our thankful writing work.  Math , Reading , and Lego Robotics were the subjects that the Grade 1/2 students were most thankful for.   We’ll have to see if those subjects stay as popular as the year continues!

This week, the Grade 1/2 class discovered that we learn sooooooo much when we explore the “outdoor classroom”!  During our trip to Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area we learned about taking care of nature and our environment.  We explored a stream and found many wonderful tiny creatures.  We learned about camouflage and played a fun hiding game.  We went on a long hike through the forest and looked at moss, fungi, and wild flowers.  Little Cat Creek is a fabulous place to learn!  We can’t wait to go back!

Fun at the Fair!

The Grade 1/2 class had a very busy week preparing for and attending the Kingston Fall Fair.  We learned all about milking cows, sheering sheep, and being a blacksmith.  We saw beautiful flowers and had the opportunity to see the farm animals up close!  What a fabulous experience!  We can’t wait for the next adventure!  Learning outside the classroom is so much fun!
