Tuesday November 26, 2019

Ask your child about Roots of Empathy and gym today. 

We worked hard in our guided reading groups, literacy groups and practicing our read to self and read to someone.

Some of us finished the word work we started yesterday.  See below...

Many of us were excited about the change in routine...no mindfulness this afternoon, instead going straight into a community walk.  We set out with I-pads to explore the community and the buildings/landmarks important to our community such as Sobeys, the Fire Hall, The Tuscany Club and our school.  We took lots of pictures of the 2D shapes and 3D objects we found.  Our fantastic student teachers are compiling all the photos taken by students.  We got back to the school mid afternoon to warm up and talk about some of the buildings and shapes/objects we saw.  Next, we worked on building a 3D representation of a house using what we saw on our walk.  We did this with a partner that was assigned to us.  We were looking for 3 things during the building process...

We are now looking for volunteers to join us on the following dates for our trip to Ralph Klein Park:
Dec. 10th Mrs. Bates' group
Dec. 12th Mrs. Disher's group
Dec. 16th Mr. Kai's group
If you can volunteer, please email your child's homeroom teacher.  Thanks so much!

Below are some more photos of our day...








At conferences, some parents asked if we could post some of the math games we have been playing.  Below is one of the games you can play for place value.  There are 3 versions of the game board you can download.  See the link below...
