Our First Week of School

We all got together for the first time on September 6th 2016 in room 7 & 8

Grade 3/4 has been very exciting so far! Our first projects were to get our workbooks organized and decorated. We created lots of different kinds of art that revolved around us. Each one of our books is a kind of self portrait.

To complete our Math work books we did a symmetry self portrait. For this I had a picture of half of my face and I had to draw the other half to look the exact same!

For our free writing books Miss Kolb and Miss Klem took pictures of us thinking. We glued the picture onto a piece of paper and we got to draw and write about things that we like. It looks like a brain explosion of awesome things!

For our social work books we got to use paint! We painted our book covers in an ombre pattern. Then a picture of our face was glued on top, they look amazing and these ones are Miss Kolb's favourites!

Every Friday we get to use our free writing books for Free Writing Friday! During this time I get to write about anything I want. I can write in any style I want too. This is a chance for me to get to use my creative brain!

Mr. Collins is our gym teacher this year. He is so funny! He is really good at teaching gym. We have played some really fun games that work on developing our skills in the gym. This week we played "chuck the chicken," "capture the treasure," "line tag" and "rock paper scissors four corners" it was so much fun!

Ms. Gunderson comes around to our classrooms for music this year. She has a magical traveling music cart. We have already started practicing our singing and have begun learning and practicing our school song.

Our classroom is so much fun! We have art supplies, an amazing reading corner, we have games for free choice, lots of pillows and a tree in the middle and a giant leaf in the reading corner! We have tons of places to sit and work and instead of desks this year we have tables. The tables are really great for collaborating with our classmates. We all have a classroom job and they are very important. These keep us organized and tidy.

Until next week!

Love,

Room 7 & 8
