Ms.Mac's Classroom

08/29/2022

As many of your little ones knew, I was to be married this summer and that happened yesterday! Although I would have loved to have them all at the wedding (and boy did they try to convince me to invite them lol), I figured they might want to see a few unofficial photos! From Ms.Mac to Mrs.Farrer.

We had a super great time yesterday at Flying Squirrel and Mooney’s Bay (minus my ice cream cone breaking and falling on the mulch 🤣)! Couldn’t have asked to bring a better group of kids ❤️❤️

We came, we saw, we conquered the Benson Center part 2. Everyone had a blast skating, playing, and eating pizza. A big shout out to Mr.Barker for organizing, Ms.Allison for teaching some reluctant skaters, and Mrs.Lewis for helping me keep my sanity🤣🤣

A student found a four leaf clover today, it’s going to be one lucky day in Grade 4/5!

We are getting ready for Jump Rope for Heart!

05/04/2022

Students were sent home with instructions today!

JUMP is for kids who believe in helping other kids. Participants fundraise in support of Heart & Stroke and celebrate with a skipping event at their school. The pledges they collect go towards research and education that gives kids across Canada the best start to a healthy, happy life.

Although I was unable to attend our trip to the Benson Center, Ms.Allison sent me a few pictures of the kiddos having a blast!

We are wrapping up our inquiry into the traditions of the Inuit people. We explored print making, soapstone carving and today, igloo building with sugar cubes (also a delicious treat for the end of the day dismissal…sorry parents!). Not everyone is done as we have had to do this in layers and let it dry but everyone is having a blast and working well in partners!

Some of our finished products!

Our class has been learning about Inuit art forms, specifically print making. Students practiced drawing an owl and then carved it into styrofoam. Ms.Mac very nicely cut them all out before students used ink rollers to roll ink onto them. Students pressed very firmly to transfer the ink to their papers. The final step was adding elongated feathers and colouring them in colours that showcased earth tones or the northern lights. We aren’t done just yet, but I’ll post them once we are!

We spend our gym outside today and some students decided they wanted to write everyone’s name on the basketball court! Another student decided to make their hockey team’s logo!
A few students also decided that a) they are glad they just call me Ms.Mac and b) that when I get married in August I should 100% take his name lol!
