Monday, May 30, 2016



Good day! We had a busy day... this is how it went:

We started off learning about divisibility rules.  We made 'duck lip' booklets, watched a video (linked below), and wrote notes.  Then students had a few minutes to generate their own numbers and practice identifying the factors of their numbers.

After recess, we played basketball in gym.  The Raptors are out, but their games against Cleveland were very exciting; we haven't played basketball for a while either.

After P.E., the students worked on developing their stories for their little buddies; they have a story structure sheet to complete for this.  (I will be collecting them and marking them for completion and accountability.) I am checking in with each student, one at a time, to ensure that they understand their conflict and climax, as well as the events in the rising action and the resolution.

After lunch, the students had music with Mr. Rogers.  They came back to class for the last hour for Health Education.  Today I introduced them to Social Thinking (Marcia Garcia Winner's program); we will be doing this several times a week until the end of the year.  *More to come about this as we get further into the program.

Reminder: Tomorrow is the field events for the District; students from Arrow Heights and Begbie View will be come to our school in the morning to compete in long jump, high jump, and shot put.
