Hello Room 10 families!
We had an exciting week of learning, with a lot more indoor time as the weather is getting cooler. Thank you for coming out and supporting the students during the Winter Concert yesterday. The students did a fabulous job and we are so thankful to Mrs. MacMillan for her fantastic leadership and musical talents.

This week, students took after and learned about the great Canadian artist, Ted Harrison! We read “The Northern Alphabet” and took on his challenge in the beginning of the book: to use the picture and sentence from each page as the beginning to a new story! We worked on developing and planning the parts of a story on a story map. The students also made art inspired by his painting, “Snow”. They first used liquid glue to outline the main shapes in their art. After the glue dried clear, we were left with perfect black outlines that Ted Harrison often includes in his paintings. We also used these to separate our colors as we painted and made our paintings pop! Next week, we will continue our Northern Alphabet stories and good copies!
