Good Bye Mrs. Brett

Yesterday we had a special assembly to say goodbye to Mrs.  Brett.  It was wonderful hearing students from different classes talk about Mrs. Brett and how she has helped them.  Some of the classes even gave her advice for her new school.  Mrs. Sarchet's class made her special gloves.  We made an iMovie for Mrs. Brett.  It was hard to hear the movie in the gym so Mrs. Leech has put it on our class blog.  We wish Mrs. Brett good luck in her new school and on her new adventures.

Gingerbread Houses

On Thursday we made Gingerbread Houses.  We had a great time decorating our houses with royal icing and candy.  Thank you to all the parents who came to help.  

Using Felt Board and Explain Everything

Today the students tried the app Felt Board and then when they were finished their pictures we moved the pictures into Explain Everything. By using the app Explain Everything they were able to draw, type and record their stories. They had a great time creating and recording stories. What is your favourite story telling app?

Using Draw and Tell for Math

We have been using ipads to communicate our learning in math.  The app Draw and Tell is a great app for primary students to show their learning.  

Measuring

On Thursday we measured our gingerbread men.  We had a great time using the different manipulatives (cubes, tiles, blocks, cuisenaire rods, magnetic tiles) to measure the area, perimeter, width, and length of our gingerbread men.  We then wrote the measurements down in our math journals.  

Where are Gingerbread Santa and Candy?

Last weekend Gingerbread Santa and Candy ran away from Sullivan and went to Pacific Heights. Then they ran away from Pacific Heights. We decided to use the app Draw and Tell to make missing posters for Gingerbread Santa. Today the Gingerbread Santa and Candy showed up at Mrs. Morrison's classroom. We are hoping that Gingerbread Santa and Candy will come back to our school soon!

Our Gingerbread Man is on the move!

Today we found out that Gingerbread Santa and Candy, from Mrs. Sarchet's class have travelled to Pacific Heights Elementary.  We are trying to figure out how they travelled to another school.  You can see them here.  We have sent a message to Pacific Heights to warn them that Candy and Gingerbread Santa are very sneaky and may try to escape.  Maybe they will travel to another school.  We are excited to see where they go next.

Yesterday we found out that Candy and Gingerbread Santa have their own blog now.  You can follow them on their blog at Gingerbread Adventures.  

We hope that they will come back soon!
