Toothless

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  We had a great week last week. I've been meaning to post all the pictures I took all weekend.  I was just finishing up a very awesome project. I've been telling our munchkins about it too. I keep telling them how math is everywhere, all around us. This project was a perfect example.  
My nephew Max (the munchkins know all about him :)) decided that he wanted to be Toothless for Halloween. Toothless is the little dragon from the movie he absolutely adores: How to train your dragon. It is very difficult to find costumes of this little dragon. Being someone who loves challenges, I decided I was going to grant him his wish. I was going to make Toothless for Max! I am no stranger to sewing machines, needles, pins and thread. However, I had never taken a project this big.
Well after several weeks of cutting, sewing and poking myself with pins, this is what the final project looks like:


Max was too excited with his new costume, he had a hard time posing for the picture:)




The munchkins have been dying to see pictures of the famous costume Miss Lopez made for Max.  I hope they get to see it.

Going back to last week...


Monday was the day we discovered our taste buds…we use cotton swabs to experiment with the different flavors…some not so delish:)  
















Projet: Potions Magiques:














Writing our Halloween Stories: 













We'll be reading our stories to our classmates this week!  I read them already (couldn't wait) and I loved them all!  Our munchkins have a such vivid imaginations!  
Have a wonderful week!

Autumn is finally here!

It is once again that time of the year... time to start bundling up to keep warm. Please make sure that the kids have the proper clothing for the nippy temperatures. Thicker jackets, hats, scarves and gloves should be making their way out of the closet and onto the children. Should you choose to send them in wearing Autumn boots, please make sure to also send in a change of shoes. Here’s to enjoying the beautiful colours of the season before we’re all buried in ...SNOW!
Have a wonderful day:)

What a week!

Hello everyone,
I hope you had a restful Thanksgiving weekend. We are back to our daily grind.  Lots of work and lots of fun!



En revenant du congé de l’action de grâce, nous avons terminé nos lapbooks sur la classification des animaux:


Wednesday we made factor trees and worked hard during our daily five.  




We used playdough to practice our spelling words: 







We listened to the story: Me and my cat by Satochi Kitamura.  The story was read by Elijah Wood.







Yay!  We love to work!













Aujourd'hui nous avons commencé nos projets potions magiques en classe. Ma potion magique était la première à être présentée. « LUMINOUS DOLORIS » (phrase magique), Cette potion vous rendra si petits que je vous glisserais dans ma poche!



La pluie nous a gardée à l'intérieur:( Aucun problème, nous avons fait plusieurs "pauses cerveau" (brain breaks):)
