Hello families, This Tuesday was Earth day! We  completed some earth watercolour art and  went outside for a sit spot. Students filled out 5 things that they love about Earth. 

Hello families, This week we learned about and made Pysanky eggs using a marbling effect with shaving cream (thank you for all the donations!) We added designs using string and glue to symbolize signs of spring.   

Hello families, This week students were thrilled to discover some special new guests in our classroom—mystery eggs waiting to hatch! We investigated different oviparous (egg-laying) animals and predicted what animal may be inside. Each pair of grade 1/2 classes received a different set of eggs. 

Hello families, This week we began working on a collaborative art project for an upcoming MAPPS fundraiser. Each class at LBS, along with our sister Montessori schools, is contributing a unique piece that will be auctioned off during Captain John Palliser’s Peace Night on April 24th. Our class is using this project as a way to wrap up our exploration of the prairies in social studies. Students visited the Kainai Plant Index website to research and select 1–2 plants to feature on their individual Jenga tiles. I’m looking forward to seeing how their designs come together! For more details about the MAPPS Peace Night and how to attend, please check the end of my blog.

Hello families, This week we celebrated St.Patricks day with multimedia art using white glue, watercolours and acrylic finger painting. A sneaky  leprechaun also made a mess of our classroom!
