Ending Our Busy Week at Gould Lake

In Language, we read the poem "Joie de printemps" as our shared reading. We practised the "elle" sound in "La ritournelle" and "ile" in " Le bibliophile". We have started some new reading and oral activities in our reading centres. We had some funny read alouds that were great examples of personal journals. 







In Math, we continued to learn about money concepts and played some new math money games in our math centres. 








In Social Studies, the class did some activities around Earth Day on Wednesday.  In the afternoon, there was a Primary Earth Day assembly followed by the class going outside to pick up garbage with M. Manolakas during Phys. Ed.  





We also went to watch Mme Adamson's grade ones practise a French play earlier this week. 


On Thursday, we managed to fit in a dance practice before Mr. Mack came to talk with the class about his experience in Marocco last week when he participated in his fifth "Le Marathon des Sables" in the Sahara desert. Thank you very much for sharing this experience with us! 




Today, despite the cold, we went to Gould Lake and participated in the "Hide and Seek" program. We hiked to the pond in the morning and looked for animal life. After lunch, we went back into the woods to participate in a scavenger hunt about animals in Ontario. 

A little "Rock, paper scissors, hearts?"

Ready to hike to the pond. 

Getting ready to explore...

Looking for life...

It's a bit muddy!

Lots of wild life from the pond!

Instructions in the teepee



The sun finally appeared as we headed back to catch the bus!
