How To Make A Cake!



Today Jaz showed us how to make a cake.  Using the words first, then, next and last, she taught our class what to do.  First you put flour in the cup to the top.  Then you pat it down. Next you flip it over and pat the top.  Last you take the cup off and it is a cake.  Lots of friends made one today!

Santa Letters with the Grade 5 Class!

We will be mailing out our letters soon!


ECE Student--Puffy Paint!

We are very fortunate to have an Early Childhood Education student in our classroom.  Her name is Celia Kehoe and she has been doing some wonderful work with the children. Miss Kehoe has 2 more weeks with us.  She completed an art activity with the children and created a documentation panel outlining the activity.  





Miss Kehoe included the text above on the panel, describing the activity and the learning that occurred during the activity.

Here the children are experimenting with the paint.




The children had great fun exploring the "puffy paint".



Here is the documentation panel, outlining the learning that happened during the activity.

*To make Puffy Paint at home, just mix equal parts white school glue and shaving cream.  If you want to add colour, a few drops of food colouring can be added.
