The Monster Project: Student-Led Conferences Comments


This is a picture of the completed monster that our class worked on for the Monster Project.  Our class decided that our monster's name was Scaredy Cat.  Each student was part of a group that worked on the different parts of the monster.  Please have your child tell you something about one of the parts that they worked on. - Miss Matsumoto

Smartie Math!!




In Smartie math, at the end if we are done we can eat our Smarites. - Stella

We coloured the Smartie math and we counted. - Prince

We used Smarties. - M.

First for Smartie math we wrote our name on the back.  Second we got our Smarties.  And then we coloured the Smarties in on the paper.  Then we opened our box of Smarties.  And then we filled in the blank spaces on the paper.  Then we coloured the boxes of the Smartie colours. - Carter

At the end, we got to eat the Smarties.  They were yummy! - Tanaye

We got papers and we coloured them in.  Then we counted the Smarties in the paper. - F.

Our class did some Smartie math last week in school.  Using Smarties, our class counted and graphed the Smarties by colour.  After finishing, everyone was able to enjoy the Smarties!

We cut out the poppies and Miss Matsumoto put our names on the black paper.  Then we put tissue paper on a pencil, then we had to put glue on it. - Skylar

Peace is playing outside.  And we want peace, not war. - Carter

War is fighting.  And war is sometimes people dying.  Peace is nature. - Stella

In the morning yesterday, our class carved four pumpkins in our table groups.  Each table group had one pumpkin to carve.  They decided as a group what their pumpkin would look like.  When we finished carving the pumpkins, each table group counted the seeds.  We used special paper to help us count the seeds by 10.  The pumpkin with the most seeds had 544 seeds!!  In the afternoon it was our school's costume parade.  We walked through every classroom and were able to see everyone's costume.  After that, we had had a classroom party with lots of treats.  It was a great day!!
