We went on our annual community field trip today. We visited the Selkirk Library, Selkirk Park, Skinners, The St. Andrews Firehall, and Lower Fort Garry Nursery. It was a fun day and we learned a lot about our community. A huge thank you to all the parents that came out and volunteered today. Please watch our video (the entry below) and leave us a comment. Thanks!
We have been learning about Nutrition and the four food groups in our classroom. Today we made our own pizzas (because pizza can fit into all four food groups). A big thank you to Upper Crust Bakery in Selkirk who generously donated the pizza dough. Another huge thank you to Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Yourchenko who helped us make our pizzas. The pizzas were delicious!

Congratulations to Laura Cook in our grade one classroom for being selected as one of the winners of the L.S.S.D. 50th Anniversary poster contest. She was the youngest winner selected in the entire division! Here is a picture of Laura with her winning poster and school trustee Bev Barker who presented Laura with a prize package.
We had a lot of fun in grade one today. It was dress-up as a fairy tale or fantasy character for "I Love to Read" month! We had a lot of great costumes!
We have been reading a lot of different versions of the 3 Little Pigs. In the afternoon the students had a challenge to design a straw house that the big bad wolf could not blow down. They had to work in small groups and they were given straws, tape, and plasticene to construct their houses. It was interesting to see all the different designs.
Afterwards we had a visit from the Big Bad Wolf and she could not blow down any of our houses. Then we tried another wolf (a fan) and it could not blow down the houses either!
