Wednesday, October 23rd

Oh what a blustery day it was! 


But while the wind was blowing outside, we were busy learning and growing. 
We started the day with Ignite again. After Ignite, we met as a whole group to discuss how are day might go. We grabbed our books for reading to self and practiced building our reading stamina, as we often do. 
We then finished the Making Words task that we had started the day before. From the letters I, N, G, W, and S, we were able to find the “secret words” which were SWING and WINGS. We also discussed how adding an ’S’ to the end of a makes it longer. For example, WIN becomes WINS. A good little tip for any future Scrabble players out there! 
After snack and body break, we did another Friendship Journal. We’ve almost done a Friendship Journal for every student in our Pod! 
Following our post-lunch Mindfulness practice, we broke into our Math groups were we continued our work on Number Sense. Then we gathered as a large group again for Inquiry. We had the pleasure of having Mrs. Kinsman join us to help brainstorm some pertinent questions we might want to ask the various members of our school community. And finally, we finished off our day with some Phys. Ed. and Math Games.
