Gymnastics safety

Hello Everyone,

Here is a copy of the gymnastics safety list as provided from the Phys-ed team:

We have begun our gymnastic unit in our regularly scheduled physical education classes. This unit lasts until the first week of February. To begin this unit, we review safety procedures with each class. When participating in gymnastics we ask students to be dressed and prepared to participate. We ask you to consider the following:
•   Clothing that allows freedom of movement (no special uniforms or outfits are required – sweats and a t-shirt work best). 

•   Loose fitting/baggy clothing may get caught on equipment when climbing. 

•   Tucking shirts in may help to prevent an accident. 

•   All jewelry that could get caught on equipment should be removed (left in classrooms or left at home). e.g. watches, rings, necklaces, etc 

•   Students with long hair should have their hair tied back. Tying hair back with elastics (scrunchies) is recommended. 

•   Students may wear shorts under clothing if they wish. 

•   Students continue to wear indoor running shoes (first preference). Students may also 
participate in bare feet or with gymnastic slippers. 

 Thank you for helping your child come to school dressed safely for gymnastics!
Mrs Sedgewick and Ms MacMillan

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...

TWAS April 27

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the amazing weather!! I'm sorry to report that with clubs, assembly and finishing up tasks we completely ran out of time for quotes.  The children all did write and bring home their TWAS letters. The weather was so beautiful that we were able to enjoy much of our math outside this week.  We rotated through stations, addition and subtraction regrouping with chalk on the compound; graphing the compound geometric shapes, chalk drawings of geometric shapes and building structures with 3D objects.  The children also independently completed the following 2 math problems (all grade 2's completed the same problems and 73 did very well): Our class had 27 pencils and then Mr. Scout gave us 18 more.  How many pencils do we have now? I have 24 marbles. Some are blue, some are red, some are white. There are two more blue marbles than white. What combinations of marbles could I have? ...
