Friday May 5 2017

Hello everyone,

Phew ! This was a very busy week - full of excitement!

Monday we had Music Monday and the children in both the am and pm classes sang with our "School of Rock" teacher musicians led by Ms. McBride.

May 3 was "Hats on for mental health day"- We talked in class about all the ways we keep healthy and revisited our learning about the Zones of Regulation. We watched the first 6 minutes of a video that taught us about our upstairs brain (thinking parts) and the downstairs brain (emotional parts) and how we can use our thinking brain to solve problems. It was create by Ms. Low, a grade 1/2 teacher at our school.

Arbor day
We are so excited about our new plants in the school and the larch tree that was planted in the front. Various donators contributed to our Arbour Day celebrations and thousands of dollars helped to make Cranston school a greener and more beautiful place to learn. 

Thursday books
NO homework this weekend. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

As we move closer to the end of the year, the students have been very engaged with learning centers that are moving towards grade one concepts. We are excited to be using our literacy and math skills in games, cooperative activities and individual tasks during this time.

That is all or now,
