Holiday surprise !

This morning we received an exciting surprise when we arrived in our class! Our elf, Marshmallow used special elf magic and delivered gifts for our class! We had so much fun opening the exciting gifts, and even more fun playing with them! What a wonderful way to finish our 2014 school year! 

From our classroom to your home, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season! 

Expanding our pallet

Fashion At It's Finest!!!

Watch out Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani and Coco Chanel!! We have some motivated students on our hands that are going to be taking the fashion world by storm.

After noticing a student's interest in clothing design we created an invitation to explore this form of art by providing a few inspirational examples and a special sketch pad. She worked an entire day on her sketch and then made it become a 3D design plan.

She was very proud of her hard work and decided to share with the class during "Je Partage"

Sharing her successes sparked some major excitement amongst the other students which led to design Monday!!

We hope to keep the ball rolling with their interest in designing, creating and modelling their outfits. They even discussed the possibility of having a fashion show. 

We will be adding new materials to their fashion inquiry over the next week but are looking for some help from any parents, family members or friends that may have knowledge about the design process, sewing or materials they would like to donate(fabric, buttons, sequence,velcro,thread, elastics, etc...). I am sad to say that Madame Schertzer's sewing knowledge is very limited and she needs your help. Please write a note in your child's communication book if you can help out. 

Feeling the holiday spirit

With the holidays approaching we have had many discussions and inquiries surrounding the holidays.  Our music teachers Mme. Lee-Diagle and Mme. Bernard have been working with us to learn some new and old holiday favorites.

We've began decorating our class with different Christmas decorations and even added a few different trees. 

Please keep an eye open in my our "sac en plastic" for a special invitation. 

 

Pauvre Marshmallow!

Bienvenue Marshmallow!

We received a special call from the office that Mme. Lira had received a special delivery for our class. We were ecstatic to discover the one and only Santa Claus, (or Père Noël in our class), had sent one of his very own magical elves to look over our class. Together we voted on a name, and came up with Marshmallow! We read the magical book Marshmallow brought and learned all about him and why he's here.

Marshmallow even had a friend from Sundowners who he can play with. 

Welcome Marshmallow!
