The University of Ottawa's Maker Mobile workshops were one of the best workshops I have experienced in my time working with kids! Their staff were so great with the young children; friendly and knew how to engage young kids! The kindergarten class has now had a great intro to programming using the application called Scratch Jr. The grade 1/2 class are already quite proficient so they got some extra tips and practice and created some creative programs that they shared towards the end of the workshop. I will certainly be looking into more of their workshops for later this year! Enjoy the video!

Last week, we played this bingo game a few times. All the pictures are community related and as we played, we learned new French words and reinforced other words we already knew. The Bingo part of this is also very exciting so what better way to strengthen and increase our French language skills and vocabulary!
Great job everyone! I am especially proud of all the work the kindergarten class did!
Our little community is well on its way! The pictures of community members you see around are pictures the kids coloured and then I laminated. Each community member picture can be found in their respective areas! The areas in the community have been decided by the students. Before we started, we discussed what was needed in our community and then we went from there. As we continued developing our community, we realized that we did not have a hospital or a train station so we added them. This week, we will discuss the current state of our community, evaluate whether it requires further development and then play with it of course! We will also discuss what would happen if we remove one or more of our community members. Will we still be able to function as a community? Who will be affected? What will happen to our community as a result? Stay tuned!
A little video about some of the activities we did in English and French during our unit on Friendship and some quotes from the students about friendship :)
