Tuesday February 18
Welcome back after a long 5 day weekend! We got right back into the swing of things by collecting the weather data for the major cities and completing a True or False Tuesday math warm up. The class had music and then worked on finishing their snowflakes. The goal was to complete 2 snowflakes with ten arms that had ten ticks and one that had a choice of ticks. The other two snowflakes had to have six arms, one with ten ticks and the other one with five ticks. Some students had to finish after eating lunch. The class had gym and then worked to finish their snowflakes if they could.
In the afternoon, we read another chapter from Refugee and learned that Josef and his family were accepted into France. His family (dad not with them though) lived there for ten months like a normal family. Then Germany invaded France as the world war began.
Students then worked in their literacy circle groups and completed another role. Today they were given a helper page that contained some different ways to begin their sentences when writing their responses. These are suggestions, but are a good way to begin responding to the different role expectations. At the end of the day the class took part in a gallery walk and worked on an activity of 'Looking at Art'. The response page asked questions that make the observer think deeply about the piece of art they are looking at. The kids did a good job taking the task seriously. This is the beginning of our look at important people in Canadian history....through art.
Reminders:
- we are going on a field trip to the Glenbow Museum on March 12....if you can volunteer that would be awesome
