 Weather was once again the centre of attention this past week. We took full advantage of the mild temperatures and sunny skies! 


Mr. Fontaine conducted music lessons outside as well. He got creative and somehow managed to connect the electronic keyboard to teach patriotic songs to the students. The children immensely enjoyed this outdoor session.




In math, we did a socially-distant hands-on exploration of mass of different objects in the classroom. The students got an opportunity to measure mass using a pan balance and various weights in grams and kilograms. 




Next week, we move onto milliliters and liters. Here's to happy explorations!!

 There was a shift in weather this week, but we soldiered on. Students enjoyed Pajama and Stuffed Animal Day as their reward. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures as I forgot to take them! I too was having fun with the children. Next time, I will remember to take a few photos. 



In ELA, students learned how to take notes and write a few conclusions based on them. Apes is always an interesting topic to research on! 





In music students leaned about the meaning of the word "piano" and "forte" and what inspired Beethoven to compose the Ninth Symphony. Lot of great things to learn from Mr. Fontaine!




  It's a new year and the excitement is building! 2021-22 will be a momentous year and I know we are all together in this journey.
