It's FRIDAY!!

Congratulations and welcome to the end of the first week!!!! You made it! It was a quick day as most early dismissal Fridays are. The class was introduced to Thank You Friday, which is an activity where the students have an opportunity to say thank you to anyone in the class for pretty much anything. We sit in a circle so we are facing each other, and the person with the feather is the one who is able share. Sharing something could be as small as someone saying hi to them or inviting to play because it made the person feel wanted, or just made them feel good inside to be acknowledged. The idea is to have students be observant about what other people are doing or saying that is a positive help to someone or the environment. We want our class to understand that small gestures have big impacts, even if we don't think so. It's always nice to be recognized for the things we do, so this is one way. After Thank You Friday we worked on finishing our visual art cover. Most students were able to say they were completed. Some will have to finish next week. We had a quick snack and then the school had an assembly celebrating the first day and week at school. We learned and played a quick math game before the end of the day. 

 Reminders:
- If you have not returned the school forms please do so as soon as possible

The challenge this morning was to think of something you would change if you could go back in time. It could have been something very personal to do with you, or it might be something more worldly to make our community or planet a better place to live. The day was very different after this. The class had music and gym as normal but the rest of the day was working cooperatively with room 53 and 53 to learn more about Phyllis Webstad and Orange Shirt Day. Together the classes heard a story book about the origins of Orange Shirt day and what happened to Phyllis when she was only 6 years old. The students made posters to display and advertise the importance of this recognition.  In the afternoon the classes were together again and had to make a group of 3 students, one from each class so students had a chance to work with new people. The afternoon task was to create a script of information to share with other classes. The whole group discussed what information was important to includ...

It was a great day at the Glenbow Museum. The students had fantastic programs in the morning and afternoon. They looked at art through the lens of one of the people or objects in the art using the senses of SIGHT, HEARING, SMELL, FEELING and I WONDER. Students used these observations and created poetry. It was beautiful. Students also had the opportunity to create their own art piece from the senses of SMELL, TOUCH, HEARING and SIGHT. Students were shown multiple exhibits and given opportunity to sketch their favourites or pieces that caught their interest. It was a great day and I thank the parent volunteers who joined us and made it possible.  Reminders: - no Evergreen Theatre performance tomorrow for parents or public to watch - there are no conferences next week - please read the previous blog for more info and check your school messenger

Morning math was proving true or false addition or subtraction equations that had an unknown in it. The unknown was given, but was it correct? The class then went to music and when back we looked at multiplying using the area model. We practiced as a whole class then each student worked to solve 2 questions. One question was a 2 digit times a 1 digit, and the other question was a 2 digit times a 2 digit number. This took us to snack and gym and then we had some personal reading time before lunch.  The number 7 should be on the other side of the box, but it still works out the same. Multiply each number by 7 and then add the totals together to find the product.      7 X 28 = ____________                                              20                            8 ...
