Month in Review

March 23, 2012

This month was pretty busy. We did a lot of Art: Leprechaun faces, which are when we got a template of a circle, trace it, we cut a line into the middle, and glued it together for a nose. Then we got coloured paper and decorated it. We could put eyes, a hat, mouth, a small beard, eyebrows, and hair. Some people used glasses. We also did something called the shamrock art, which is when we colour in some paper shamrocks with all of our shades of greens, cut it out, and glued it on to a black piece of construction paper. We also did the longest line art, (my favourite!) which is when we take our sharpies, and draw a long line with crazy movements without taking it off the paper. Then we trace different shapes on to it. Then we colour in only the shapes. We also did an art where we did funky birds for spring. We coloured it with watercolour paint. In Math, we started a new booklet about money. We are going to start multiplication after spring break. We worked on our portfolios because we had a parent teacher conference. My parents were proud of my report card. We had hot lunch yesterday! It was hot dogs and hamburgers. We organized our classroom library. It looks much neater now. In social studies we are doing another research project! The grade 4s are doing a region in Manitoba. I am doing the Northern region. The grade 3s are doing a country around the world. We also had Village groups! We started at our village group leaders room, then we rotated to different classrooms. My group leader is Ms. Dent Scarcello but she is away so it was Ms. Dodds.  Her classroom activity is musical hoola hoops. Next we switched to Mr. Oliphant’s class. His was dancing. The songs that we danced to are Macarena, and Chicken Dance. We looked at another song called “The Duck Song” Next we went to Mrs. Dowhan’s class. It was cup stacking. Next was Ms. Wasney’s. It was in the hallway. We had some scooters and a rope, and we tried to make it to the other mat as a team. The goal was to get the whole team to the other mat. It was a lot of fun. It was my favourite one! Next we went to Mr. Kusics class. It was where we roll a tennis ball and it jumps up when it hits a hockey stick, and if I lands one of the cups, you get a point. That’s when we had to stop. One day the grade 4s went to Robert Andrews! We played AAA activities and made crafts. It was pretty fun. We also presented our play of Nanabosho and the Porcupine. We also saw other ones. My favourite was Ms. Dyck’s class. We also went to a music festival at West Minister United Church. The songs we sang are “Walking in the Air” and “Hine ma Tov”. We started playing Hand Ball in Gym. This month we started Cursive Writing! I enjoyed doing the Village Group activity, Hand ball and of course, all of the Art.
