Terrific Thursday!
Action Stars!!!!
Teni and Dolapo:
They made up a game called Build it:
for one minute, the two girls looked for materials. Then they built a structure
using the materiels they found. After they put various objects on them to see
how much their structure could hold. If the heaviest object did not make the
structure fall, then they sat on their structure.
Great job Teni and Dolapo!
Let me know if you have been
learning about structures outside of school J
We began the day
playing some house games in the gym. We needed to figure out the names to holiday
songs and students were also selected to take part in a holiday game.
Students then had
physical education with Ms. Lovan.
During math, we
completed a two-digit worksheet. Once we figured out the correct answer for
each problem, we were able to figure out a holiday riddle. The question was:
What do the elves do after school? Answer: gnome-work (instead of homework). We
had a good chuckle out of this.
Afterwards,
students used adjectives to describe what they know about reindeers.
Wahkeen cut out ornaments with adjectives, nouns, and verbs on them and then he put them on the correct tree.

When students were
finished, they wrote about their pet reindeer (name, where they found their
reindeer, where they are kept, what they like to do, what they do not like to
do, their favourite food, how they take care of their reindeer, what makes
their reindeer special). Then students made their reindeers. Didn’t they turn
out fantastic?!?:
After first recess
and lunch, students had French.
When the students
returned they wrote their homework in their agendas. Students have a Flat
Stanley project that they need to complete over the holidays. Feel free to
email me with any questions. I also created math packages that the students can
work on over the holidays; this is optional.
Students then
completed a holiday crossword and word search.
At the end of the
day, we had hot chocolate with marshmallows, popcorn (thank you to Saanvi), and
cupcakes (thank you to Wahkeen) and watched some movies. We began watching a
movie about Rudolph and then moved on to a movie about the Grinch.
What a great way
to end off!!
I hope you all
have a wonderful holiday and a fantastic start to the new year!!
To my students: I
have greatly enjoyed teaching you these last three months. You are all such delightful
and special students; I look forward to teaching all of you in the new year!!

-discuss your favourite part or character and explaining why: students make sure that you use evidence from the book to explain your reasoning
-discuss your favourite part or character and explaining why: students make sure that you use evidence from the book to explain your reasoning
-Think about the author’s message: Why do you think the author wrote the book you are reading? Is the author trying to teach you about something important?
