Dance, Dance, Dance!

This morning K to 5 had a dance in the gym. We had a great time, but we were exhausted from all of that dancing!

Are You Smarter Than an SRC Member

Today everyone in K-4 went to the gym to watch the student representative council and the teachers play a game called "Are You Smarter Than An SRC Member?" It was a lot of fun, and we found out that Yorkdale Central teachers are very smart!!!

Saskatchewan Express

Today Saskatchewan Express came to our school to perform today. They danced and sang, and it was very good. Some of us have decided that we want to join Sasatchewan Express when we grow up!

Brain Breaks

Today Mrs.Bulitz, our school division's educational psychologist, came and presented a lesson to us on "learning to learn". She talked about the five ways we learn (using our five senses), and taught us some exercises that help get our brain ready to learn. She called them "brain breaks".

Valentine's Day

Today we celebrated Valentine's Day. We made Valentine bookmarks, we had a special shared lunch (thanks moms and dads for sending us all of that delicious food!), we played games, and we delivered and opened Valentine cards. We had a busy, enjoyable day.

Our 100 Day Party

We celebrated being in school for 100 days on Friday, and we had a very busy day. We spent a large part of the day working in pods, which included making necklaces out of 100 fruitloops, doing 100 piece puzzles, making 100 day glasses, stamping 10 groups of 10 to make 100, and more. We really had fun doing a search of our room to find 100 chocolate kisses hidden around the room! We hope that the next 100 days of grade one will be just as much fun as the last 100 were.

Cha-cha slide

We are learning some dances in phys. ed., and today we did the cha-cha slide. It is one of our favorites and we are getting very good at it. Watch us go!

Book Boxes

We all have our own book boxes that have books we can read in them. They also have magazines, animal books, and some favorite books. Everyday we all get our book boxes and read to ourselves. We have been practising to build our stamina, and now we we can read nine minutes without stopping. We want to keep practising until we can read for 15 minutes or more!
