What is inside the golden eggs? Our grade two class had to figure this out. There was only one request.. do not open the eggs!! Our class used lots of descriptive words today! 😁🐰 @NWIAcademy @NLESDCA

The four seasons! Can you identify all four on the tree? Our K/1 students can! ☀️🍂❄️🌷 @NLESDCA @WillGillettAcad

Warm weather calls for some classroom ladybugs! ☀️🐞

Mindful minutes was completed outside today by listening to nature and doing a colour search walk! Some “gold” and “gemstones” were found too! 🌈🪨🌲 @WillGillettAcad @NLESDCA

After learning how to take care of the Earth, we made pictures of it! This lovely student wanted to draw a comparison of a good and bad Earth. One side is bright and colourful, and the other is broken and polluted. Awesome job L! 🌎🌲@WillGillettAcad @NLESDCA

Career day at WGA! Firefighters, pharmacists, business owners for soap making, and nurses were sharing their stories today ❤️ workers celebrating doing what they love! 👩🏻‍🚒👩🏻‍🔬👷🏻‍♂️👩🏼‍⚕️Thankful for my career choice 👩🏻‍🏫 @WillGillettAcad @NLESDCA

Learning how to balance different weight calls for a challenge: what can you balance on one centre block? Then we changed up our structures for more experimenting! ⚖️ Another challenge was to not bump into the table😂 @WillGillettAcad @NLESDCA

A sunny afternoon perfect for climbing snowbanks higher than the school and dancing in the snow shadows! Lots of giggles too! ❄️☺️ @WillGillettAcad @NLESDCA

100th day celebration this week with a challenge: what can be built with 100 toy straws and connectors? Turns out it’s a tower touching the ceiling! We made sure our class mascot Spikey was along for the ride (our orange duck) 💯🧡 @WillGillettAcad

Hip, Hip, Hooray! It’s TWOSDAY!! The students were making celebration crowns today as the clock turned 2:22 PM on our 02/22/22 day! Had to take a fun selfie with a student just as he was finishing up his crown! 🥳2️⃣🥳 @WillGillettAcad @NLESDCA

Today we held our own in-class puppet show! Students created their own puppets, watched examples of puppet shows for ideas (the Muppets!), and planned a storyline together. A great way to end off our week! 🎭🎞 @WillGillettAcad @NLESDCA

Special thanks to local author and illustrator Raeann Brown for reading “Bedtime in Nunatsiavut” to my K/1 class today! The students loved the story and illustrations ♥️ Thank you Labrador Creative Arts Festival for the opportunity! ☺️ @LBArtsFest @NLESDCA @WillGillettAcad
