February 10th, 2017

Ie know that they say to never judge a book by it's cover, but that's just what I had the kiddos do in sciences humaines last week.  These pictures appeared early last week on what was once a blank bulletin board, leaving the class a wee bit curious about who these people were, and why they had their pictures up in our class.  
One by one, students were randomly drawn to put their post-it on a picture that interested them.  The catch, there could only be a maximum of two post-its per photo.  Once everyone was chosen, students  had one minute to switch with someone, if both parties were willing.  Some seriously heart warming kindness happened during the switch time, I was very proud of my kiddos.
So, who are these people and what are their pictures doing in our class?  Check in with your littles daily to see the mysteries that they will uncover about some of most influential people in Manitoba, pas and present.

February 8th, 2016

It's been awhile since we last shared what we've been up to in room 205.  So here's the scoop!

This week, we are celebrating KindNESS week. Today was Crazy for Kindess Day.  Check us out!
Room 205 is definitely CRAZY for kindness!  Tomorrow is Team up for Kindness.

In ELA, we are continuing are work as poets, finding and explaining figurative language.  Some of us have started showcasing our knowledge in our iMovie projects. We are SO excited to share what we've learned with you all.

In sciences humaines, we are continuing our hard work on researching Louis Riel.  Today we found something SUPER interesting about the Father of Confederation.  Ask us what our critical research of online media taught us!
In FLA we are continuing to practice our reading strategies through our class novel study of Zamboni.  We are working really hard to remember to justify our thinking, with specific details when responding to our text.

February 1, 2017

Happy February to all!  Our class had an incredible January and we are so looking forward to another incredible month of learning together.  

In ELA we are continuing to evaluate song lyrics in music in order to identify and clarify figurative language.  Some of us have begun creating movies to teach others about their learning.
In sciences humaines we are learning how to use a variety of valid sources to research a topic. We are learning this by researching Louis Riel as a class using a variety of media and sticky notes!
In FLA we are reading, Zamboni.  Chapter 2 did not disappoint!  We had some great discussion and are excited to find out what happens next.

Note from Madame Champagne:
A HUGE congratulations to everyone that was involved in the production of James and the Giant Peach.  You were INCREDIBLE! Bravo!
