We will be participating in our own Earth Hour this Friday during 4th block.

The real Earth Hour will be taking place this Saturday at 8:30pm. 

Looking forward to hearing how families will be spending their Earth hour :)

Music Monday

Monday, May 6 is Music Monday!  It is a time when all Canadian schools stop and sing!  1pm is when our time zone is scheduled for. I will let you know closer to that day when and how St Emily will be participating.

The theme for 2013 is "Filling the Skies with Music."  This year's song is a collaboration between BareNaked Ladie's Ed Robertson and astronaut Chris Hadfield. The song is called I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing).

In preparation for that day, we will be practicing the song in class until we know the lyrics very well. I have placed the video on my youtube channel if you wish to practice at home :)

iPad App Arrays

I may be getting a little carried away with the iPad theme in my classroom ;) 

Here is a math craft idea that students enjoyed, while demonstrating their knowledge of arrays from the beginning of our multiplication unit.

This photo is a snapshot of a few of the many great iPad app arrays students created in the classroom.

Bon congé de mars!

Je vous souhaite de passer une bonne semaine de relâche. Amusez-vous bien!

Wishing all my students an enjoyable and restful March Break! 

You deserve it  : )
