Tuesday February 4

True and False Tuesday had the students proving if given perimeters and areas were correct or if the given statement about area and perimeter were true or not. We are still furthering our understanding of these concepts. There will be another check in on Friday to see if there is more understanding. Last week's check in was surprising! 

 The class had music and then we worked on an area challenge. The challenge was to estimate and then find how many sticky notes it would take to cover one side of a filing cabinet. One sticky note was given to each table, the length of the cabinet was given and the number of sticky notes needed to fill in the width was shown on the video. No one found the correct number of sticky notes, but this information will be used tomorrow to continue the challenge for all the sides of the cabinet. The class had gym and had their first time on the Mission Impossible course.

 In the afternoon, the class was given a special gym time to help the grade one's go through the course. Before this we listened to an episode of 6 Minutes and made a predication about who we thought the spy was at the school.

 The class worked on their literacy circle jobs and then had some time to continue researching and gathering information about their region.

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 ...
