On Monday, February 1, the students of 5A had the pleasure of greeting younger LCC students from grade 1. We felt very grown up and were eager to introduce the program of Google Earth to the younger students to show them our beautiful country.

We looked at British Columbia to show them the sites of the 2010 winter Olympics. Some of the places we visited were: BC Place which is where they are holding the opening and closing ceremonies, the Olympic Oval for speed skating, Whistler for skiing, and many more! Then we also looked at, Iqaluit, since the grade 1 students are working on a project involving the Arctic.

The grade 1 class was very enthusiastic and enjoyed answering our many questions about the places we visited with them. They are all very cute and very bright and it was fun to spend time with them today! –Julia Garfinkle ’16

Grade1Centenary_07Dec2009 Every week, LCC’s grade 1 students receive a “Math Problem of the Week,” which is made up of several math activities that they need to solve.

In honour of LCC’s 100th birthday celebration, the grade 1 students put together their own display of 100 objects. They needed to choose 100 items, count them by putting them into groups and present them in any way they wanted. The results were amazing! Their projects were creative, vibrant and original. Our founder, Dr. Fosbery, would be proud… I sure am!
