Hello and welcome to the Steps Junior Classroom Blog!
This site will be kept up to date throughout the week and will serve as a way to show what we are working on inside of the Junior class. You will be able to see what we are learning about in the class and some of the language that we use to discuss topics, what educational apps we like to use, see examples of student work, and some of our classroom projects!
The calendar will be updated regularly to inform you of upcoming school events such as PD days and holidays, special days (Spirit week, Field Trips), and other dates of importance (ex: STEAM meetings). In the "Contact Information" tab you will find phone numbers for the class and to contact student transportation.
There are a number of educational links at the side that connect to a variety of sites that we use or will be using in the classroom. Future blog posts will expand on some of these educational apps and how we use them.
Junior Class Art
At the beginning of the year, we always like to begin with some line art and the different ways that we can use lines. The Juniors constructed some really neat pieces 2-d and 3-d pieces of art that show some of the different ways that we can use lines!
With the beginning of fall, we also started some fall art. They took some inspiration from Van Gogh with our "Wheatfield with Crows" as they added their own personal touches to some of the Van Gogh's work. We also decided to use pastels to create pumpkins and give the pumpkins a nice warm colour and feeling compared to the cool colours that we often used in our backgrounds.
