Our Day
Roots of Empathy: Baby Warren came to visit today with the Summer group. He is growing and changing so quickly!
Literacy: students focused on increasing their stamina and on comprehending their reading during our Read to Self time today. Students who participated in literacy stations worked on poem reconstruction, word families, and sentence building. Small groups of students also read with teachers today in guided reading groups.
Math: Students are working in different groupings to build on learning strategies for addition. Some strategies we are learning are counting on, using doubles and doubles plus one, as well as using a ten frame and/or number line.
Mindfulness: we practiced moving mindfulness today after lunch with a yoga practice.
Inquiry: Students have moved into their next round of inquiry with new teachers in the afternoon. Peace A is now learning about flora and fauna of the coastal region with Ms. Disher and Ms. Low. Peace B is working with Mrs. Day and Mrs. Nelligan and learning about the human geography of the Arctic. Students will be in these groupings over the next 3 weeks to further build on their knowledge gained in the last round of inquiry time.
