Had trouble sleeping because my evening was busy last night and I completely forgot that I told the kids I would send out a final message about our trip! So here I am at 6:07 am! • there’s plenty of room on the bus for all our volunteers, please meet us at the front door at […]

Just sitting here looking at the week ahead and thinking about our grade 2 trip. From past experience, here are my suggestions. Pack your backpack with the following: • refillable water bottle • lunch and snacks • rubber boots for the pond study • extra socks just in case • sunscreen • bug spray • […]

I’ve been very excited to share this with you! On Thursday I recorded the kids doing a cover of Walk Off The Earth’s Gang of Rhythm, an awesome Canadian band hailing from Burlington. I didn’t quite capture the beginning but that’s okay, it’s adorable. One student was away but don’t worry Finn, we’ve been asked […]

This is how I procrastinate about doing my report cards……. We have formally learned about the parts of an analog clock and how to read the time, now it’s just a matter of practice. The kids sometimes need reminders to read the small hand first and then the big hand. The most challenging part of […]

In June, we will be going on another field trip. Friday, June 17th, we will be going to Highlands Nordic near Duntroon for their outdoor education program. The activities we are taking part in are a pond study and wayfaring. We will definitely need parents to come along with us and we can bring all parents […]

We had a fun day on Wednesday, gorgeous weather, a great show and a fun time playing afterward….oh, and a wee unexpected treat at the end! The play was so well done, it was such a treat to see such wonderful young talent. The teachers who run the drama club at St. Michael’s should be […]

Tomorrow morning we will head to Barrie to watch Willy Wonka Jr at St. Michael’s. There is a park beside the school that we will be going to after the play to have lunch, stretch and play, before coming back to school. The children won’t need agendas or anything like that so if they just […]

With the warm weather, I just want to remind you to make sure your child has a water bottle each day. Our classroom is warm, actually it’s like a sauna. Getting a quick drink from the fountain is not enough for them. The water bottle allows them to come in, sit, and have a nice […]

Yesterday, the kids were given the task of looking through sales flyers to find favourite items and add them up. A bit of a learning curve when you add decimals into the mix and adding 3 or 4 numbers was also a challenge. We had an excellent discussion beforehand about how often they use cash […]

So do the kids talk about our Maker Spaces? We usually do them in the middle block between the nutrition breaks. I know when things go on in the school and we go a few days without doing them, I sure hear about it! I love it as much as they do! I look around […]
