Happy Valentine's Day!

It was an awesome day in Room 8! Happy Valentine's Day to all our followers!

Personal Space

Today we learned all about personal space. Mrs. Macdonnell and Mrs. Lowe showed us that we could imagine that there is a hula hoop around our body to represent our personal space. Everyone needs personal space. We practiced having personal space in the classroom, in line and even on the playground.

We also talked about playground problems. We learned that if we have a problem outside we need to tell an adult on duty so that they can help us solve the problem.

We watched a video all about personal space.  You can view it here.

Perfect personal space in line.

Today we were lucky to have a special guest blogger. Here's what she had to say:

"Hi its Krystal. I do not know what to say about personal space. All I know is to imagine thare  is a hula hoop around your body ( your wlowe body).

PS I am 6 years old so I am almost in grade 1."

The hula hoop represents our personal space bubble.

Paper Mache Hats

Last week we made paper mache hats to celebrate our Skype call with Jon Klassen.  The students decided that it would be nice to make a video for other children so that they could learn how to make paper mache hats too.

To make the video the students in room 8:

• Decided on the steps
• Posed for photos
• Took the photos
• Recorded their voices giving the instructions

We hope you enjoy our video. Maybe you can make paper mache too!
