Based on the book, My Map Book by Sara Fanelli, we created our own “Map of my Heart.” We looked deep into our hearts and identified what was important to us and what it is that we love. We used a map as a visual representation and explained why these items were so special. First, we drew different images and labeled our picture by sounding out the words, next we carefully outlined using a Sharpie, then we painted each section using watercolour paints. Lastly, we carefully cut out the hearts. Through this activity, the students demonstrated the following: I can... -share and talk about my interests and what makes me unique -speak in a clear voice to share my ideas and information -listen to experiences and feeling shared by others -value and appreciate my classmate’s unique characteristics, interest, gifts and talents -represent my understanding in words and pictures -experiment with print and begin to sound out words independently -enhance my fine motor skills by drawing, outlining images, painting and carefully cutting out a heart -experiment with lines, colour and shape when creating my map to express my ideas Special thanks to our gym teacher, Ms. Vahaaho and French teacher, Madame Duteau for organizing the Winter Carnaval. Students had a wonderful time rotating between 5 different stations including: Broomball, Human Curling, Dog Sled Races, Snowball Relay and Scorpion Tag. In addition to staying active and having fun, the students developed perseverance, team work and a willingness to take risks. Ask your child about their favorite station! This is a friendly reminder that there is NO SCHOOL from February 16-20th. We look forward to seeing your child and hearing about their long weekend when they return on February 21st!
