Earth Day SHOULD be Every Day!

We have been collecting garbage in our school yard. Look at all this garbage!

Professional Actor Mary Ellen MacLean came to our Class!!



Here is Mary Ellen teaching in our classroom!

Mary Ellen MacLean is a performer, creator, teacher, director and producer who works in theatres across the country. She currently is an Artist in Residence at the Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People in Toronto. We are so lucky she came to our class to teach physical theatre!
It was sooo much fun!

We have been learning about how our bodies work

We read books about how our organs work and in partners we traced our bodies and placed our organs in the correct spot.

We made our own Friendship bracelets!




We learned how to make braids using positional words: crossing over and under.
