Puppet Mania

A few students discovered some paper bags and other materials in our Art Centre.  They decided to create puppets and performed a mini puppet show.

Under the Sea

These students decided to create their own Underwater World.  The detail they included was incredible. Great job girls!

Another Block of Play in ELP

Have a look at other happenings in our classroom.

Hockey Fans

We have some HUGE hockey fans in our classroom.  They enjoy making arenas out of different materials.  Students have been creating their own paper arenas and players.  Check out the action below!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We hope you all had a fantastic March Break!  Let's hope Spring really is around the corner.......

We enjoyed celebrating St. Patrick's Day this year.  Usually, this holiday falls within March Break so we don't have the opportunity to celebrate.  Students got to reach into a pot of gold and find a gold coin that had a letter written on it.  They had to tell their friends the name of the letter and the sound it makes.  Later, we filled the pot of gold with green rice and students got a chance to dig for gold!

Miss Mammarella offered the students an opportunity to complete a St. Patrick's Day writing activity.  They were asked to complete the sentence, "If I found a pot of gold, I would .....".  Students used the Word Wall and their knowledge of letter and sound relationships to complete the activity.

Pink Day

Our class did an outstanding job dressing up for Pink Day.  We talked about how we could help others and "Be a Buddy, Not a Bully".  We worked together to decorate our door with an "Anti-Bullying" theme.

Exploring 3D Solids

We have been busy exploring 3D solids in our classroom.  Students were challenged to look around their house and bring in different kinds of 3D solids.  We had a variety of spheres, cylinders, cubes, cones, and rectangular prisms.  Students had the opportunity to show their object to their classmates, name it and identify the name of the solid it resembles. We then created a 3D Museum, displaying all of our objects.

This student discovered that when he shone the flashlight through the pink ball, it created a pink reflection in the binoculars.  Great observation!

Another Day in the Life of ELP

Here are some pictures of various activities that occur during our day.

Good Friends!

We have been talking a lot of being good friends, with our focus on Anti-Bullying here at school.  We thought we would post some pictures of the good friends we have in our class.

Marshmallow Structures

The students have been learning about 3D solids.  They have been exploring, sorting, recognizing, and learning to identify them.  They were invited to create a common 3D solid using marshmallows and toothpicks, or their invented their own!

Popcorn Award Winners!

Congratulations to these students who identified all 30 of our Popcorn Words.  Way to go!

Olympic Writing

Students helped to create a list of Olympic events.  Then, they completed a writing activity and finished the sentence starter "My favourite Olympic event is _________".
