Thursday November 14


The morning began with a Thinking Thursday puzzle. It is pasted below. As a class, we went over the rules for each factory and figured out the missing numbers. The third factory was a challenge for figuring out the rule that related the input number to the output number. Can you figure out how the numbers go in as a number and come out as a different number? We continued working on the era stories and it is to the point where everyone will now have to begin typing. This took to snack and gym time. When back in the classroom there was a math check-in reviewing subtraction and addition.

In the afternoon, the class listened to the next episode of 6 minutes and then responded to a question about it. This checked to see who is listening and paying attention. After a quick break outside to take advantage of the weather, the class completed a reading comprehension. Today's Canadian Reader was all about the Mountain Pine Beetle and what some of the trees in the forest are doing to defend themselves against this pest.

Reminders:
- tomorrow the class walks to the pond and will need warm coats, boots, toques and gloves. Snow pants are recommended as the grass may be wet and snowy and students will be sitting in their nature nook spots when doing the activities.

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 ...
