The Excitement of Measuring!

We've been using rulers to measure different things in class. We're also studying insects and last week they had to find other things that were as long as a praying mantis, stick insect, and goliath beetle. So they went around measuring shoe lengths, license plates, door handles, people's ears and heads! They LOVED the assignment. This time I brought my camera to class and caught a few pictures of them measuring their desk,pencil, scissors and chairs with tape measures.

This guy was pretty impressed at how tall his friend is!


Everyone is pretty excited to see how tall he is!



Working together!


Who knew measuring a chair could be so much fun?!!!!!




My camera had a hard time keeping up with all their movements, but you can see the excitement on her face!

Fabulous Day Off... Climbing!

After a long weekend working to prepare for our Friends and Fun program, we got two days off in the middle of the week! It feels SO GOOD to be out side in western clothes soaking in the sun!




It felt SO GOOD to be out in the fresh air climbing in western clothes! Ahhhhhhh :)

Friends and Fun!

We've been practicing for this function for about a month now! My kids (Grade One) sang Down by the Bay and Mary Had a Little Lamb for their parents! There are 180 kids that go to our school so there were at least 300 parents under the tent today!




My girlfriend's class was acting out The Boy Who Cried Wolf, so they got facial hair for the part! :)




Nothing like teaching and living with a good friend!
