 Happy April 1st!  Fortunately, nobody played any tricks on me:)

We had a fun-filled yet productive day.  We did some water colour painting in two stages: the first so that the paint would dry thoroughly, and the second to add in Sharpie our designs.  Here's what the kids produced: some before and after...   *Remember, you can click on a picture to enlarge it.








We also  did some Easter-themed math: patterns and rotations, a MAZE exercise, learned about Alan Turing https://youtu.be/ynTAFPukXBk  and The Easter Story  https://youtu.be/J_E-3BqqeiU.  The latter was intended for educational  purposes, not promoting a religious belief. 

In the afternoon, we played another game of Kahoot! about Polygons and a second game about Growth vs Fixed Mindset to revisit what we had learned yesterday.  The poster that we created as a class yesterday is posted below.  

We had a wonderful hot lunch today: chicken noodle soup and a homemade bun.  The kids also had a brief egg hunt - thanks to Ms Pehgee's chocolate egg donation:)  Lastly, everyone went home with a bag of hard-boiled eggs, egg decorating materials, a new mask, and a new re-useable bag.  Wow!  Students are encouraged to attend the online Zoom tomorrow night for egg decorating and, if they do, will receive a gift certificate for Sporty's.  

Enjoy the long weekend!
