Swimming

Swimming will begin in early November. Mme DeSousa and I are waiting on a list of dates as the sixth visit interfered with our report card writing day. Once all dates are determined, a permission form will be sent home.

The Integrated Arts

Yesterday, an artist came to share with the class some yoga techniques. Our focus was mindfulness. Our goal was to focus on ourselves by being aware in the present moment.
There were many different feelings experienced from this exercise.

 



Joseph said, "It was great and good. It was so relaxing!"
Bebe said, " It was really good!"
Kane said, " I'm so relaxed, I can barely walk!"




Easton said, "It made me sore. It was painful."
R.J. said, "It made me feel hungry!"
Finn said, It made me feel really tired!"
Bree said, " It made my leg and wrist hurt".
Overall, the consensus was that it made almost everyone feel calmer.

Our Bulletin Boards

Our last hallway board displayed what things we are saying goodbye to from our summer holidays and what we are saying hello to by coming back to school.
We are saying goodbye to.....
Swimming outside, going to the beach, sleeping in, going to camps, roasting marshmallows...
We are saying hello to...
New and old friends, pencils, reading every day, working hard, playing outside at recess...

The students' wrote about their Summer vacation. We brainstormed ideas from our holiday, did some teacher modelling, shared our ideas, did a rough-copy and revised.
Our hallway board now has a new writing activity entitled 'I can't imagine my life without...'

Meet the Teacher!


I am so happy to see some of my old students and to meet some new ones this year! This is my 12th year teaching at Ecole Assiniboine. I am a mother to two amazing kids. Wyatt is now in grade 3 and Elle is starting her school journey in Kindergarten. My husband's name is Laurent and he is the General Mgr. of a restaurant. In my spare time, I like to watch movies, spend time with my family and friends and I am learning to play golf. I have taught grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3.
