Hello Everyone, I hope you are all off to a wonderful weekend start! It was lovely to meet with so many families over the last week during our community walk, picnic and at 'meet the teacher.' As the children settle into their routines we are finding our days whizzing by and the children's morning endurance seems to be strengthening daily. We will start rotating through math stations next week so we spent quite a bit of time working with math problems, as they tend to be the math station that requires the most "mastery" (mastery was our circle of courage focus this week; please ask your little one to explain his/her understanding of this tricky concept). The children are learning to be patient with themselves as they learn the skill of breaking down math problems and using their tools to work with the information they are given. I was impressed with their ability to recall the many strategies that they learned last year, and the ways that they applied these ...

Hello Everyone, Wow what a wild, fast and wonderful week!  The days flew by and already the children are in the thick of leaning.  One of us stated, at the beginning of TWAS, "Mrs. McArthur what can we even write about; we've only been here four days," and then they proceeded to fill up three pages with the week's events.  So here is some of what was on those pages: We began the week with activities and discussions that focused on belonging.  Where we see it, why we need it, when we feel it, when we don't and why it is so important in our class and out in the community. We also talked a bit about our class rule:  kindness.  I will let them explain why we only need one rule, how everything (even signing out for the bathroom) relates back to kindness. On this path we also set up our Circle of Courage and began our recognition of Random Acts of Kindness, of which we saw many this week. Additionally we dove right in to our language arts, math, inquiry, ar...

Hello Families, It was great to see so many of you coming together to enjoy family movie night last night. The children were very excited; what a wonderful social event.  It is so important that the school is a part of the wider community so thank you so much for making that happen! I can't wait to hear all about it in the "over the weekend" reflections Monday morning :) I hope the children have been sharing their painting experiences with you.  As you probably know, we have been learning about colour in science, so for our Thursday art the children created a colour wheel.  Here's the thing, they were given only the three primary colours (tempera paint), 1 paint brush, a bowl of water, a napkin, a cleaning cloth to share with 2 friends and a colour wheel template.  They had to create all of the secondary and tertiary colours by blending with only those materials.  I thought that this was going to be extremely challenging (it was for me when I made the exempl...
