Sugarloaf 02/27/2015: ski fun, take 2!

What can we do with all this snow? SKI !!!

Each year, the school community takes a break from classes and heads for

Sugarloaf Mountain on four Fridays!

What a wonderful way to build community- playing together and enjoying the outdoors!

The teachers, students and parent volunteers have such a blast. Students take a morning lesson, everyone has lunch in the lodge together, and then the afternoon is spent enjoying the slopes.

A full day of excitement and accomplishment!

Poesie Challenge- Poetry Challenge

Couldn't be prouder of these students!!

The challenge was to learn and recite a poem with only a week to prepare.

The activity is carried out in French schools as part of the Printemps des poets- Springtime poets celebration. Everyone did a fantastic job, the audience was very attentive, and the readings were also enjoyed by the teachers and parents who came to listen. Bravo!!!

La magie des couleurs en Grande Section

This week in Kindergarten, we have been reading the book: The Magician of Colors

We experimented with glasses with colored lenses to see the world in a single color, just like in the story!

Then the children drew the world in blue, yellow, or red...

A blue family, a blue tree, and blue animals...or blue cowboys and blue horses!
Next, we experimented with mixing colors!
First, we worked with nuances, then darker, lighter, and if we add some black or white?...to vary the results...

Next, we mixed the three colors together. We discovered that red, blue and yellow are primary colors, and that with these three colors, we can make all of the other colors!
