R is for ribbons twirling and swirling.
I is for ice with skaters all over.
S is for star and some have four points.
T is for toys every child craves.
M is for manger it calms me at night.
A is for angel with a ring over head.
S is for snowflakes falling without a peep.

Slate Boards

Using Pen And Ink At The Museum

On Wednesday December the 2 the grade 2/3 class went to the Frontanac County Schools Museum and we wrote with pen and ink. It took a long time because we had to keep dipping the pen in the ink every time it ran out. It was a lot of fun and I hope we can go back!!

Old Typewriters

Our grade two three class went for a field trip to a one room school house museum and we got to see very old typewriters.

After that, we got to see a different kind of typewriter, and it was older than the other typewriter. The typewriters were older than mid evil times. When we were getting ready to leave, I took a picture of the old typewriters. Our field trip was so fun!

Pen and Ink

When we went to the one room School Museum, we used the pen and ink. It was hard to use the nib-pen with the bottle of ink without spilling or knocking it over. We had no messes. We had fun using the pen and ink at the Schools Museum in Barriefield.

Chores

Chores were very different back in the olden days. At school the teacher would choose helpers for the day. One chore is bringing in the water from the well.

Children did many chores back then. Cleaning the blackboard, organizing the boots, and sweeping the floor are a few.

The 1 Room School House Typewriter

The 1 Room School House Typewriter

When my grade 2/3 class went to the one room schoolhouse we saw a typewriter. When I saw it I remembered my Poppa used to be an editor and he used a typewriter.

Everybody loved using the typewriters. I loved it too! I had so much fun at the schools museum.

Gym

In gym we have been working with hoolahoops , we have skipped forward and backward with hoolahoops. When we warm up in gym we run skip and gallop. When we use the parachute sometimes we go under and sit on it and all the air stays in. We have also used beanbags. When we use beanbag’s we have to launch them in a hoop or near a hoop. We also learned how to juggle it is really fun!!!!!!!!!!! When I get home I am going to get something and practice juggling at home!!!! I LOVE GYM!!!!!!!!!!

Eric Carle Writing

Our grade 2/3 class are making Eric Carle style writing. Eric Carle stories have to have a pattern. It is so fun because first we have to paint, not a picture you just have to smear the paint all over the page. then let it dry. After, when it is dry you cut out the shapes you want in a picture. My story is about a horse named Brownie that signs up for racing and thinks she wont be fast enough. And she runs into a snail a dog and a worm. I think all my classmates books are going to be AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! I am pretty sure my classmates are having so much fun making these I can’t wait for my book to get laminated!!!

Gould Lake

I liked going to Gould Lake. It was a lot of fun!!!!! My favourite part was finding a hole in a tree that was made by a woodpecker. I stuck my hand in it!!!! We learned about porcupines and how they use their quills. Porcupines defend themselves by sticking up their quills. There is one animal who can avoid porcupine quills: a fischer. A fischer can bite a porcupine before it can swing around and get quills into the fischer. Now that we’ve gone to Gould Lake, I would like to learn more about porcupines - how they survive in the winter and what they are related to.

Gould Lake

What I liked the most was when we saw the nymphs at the pond. I would like to learn more about porcupines. I learned that mica was used for a lot of things in the olden days. What I also liked was seeing the woodpecker hole. I would also like to learn more about the insects in the pond. I also learned that if you get a porcupine quill in your hand it will come out the other side of your hand. Some day I hope we can go back to Gould Lake.
