Happy Tuesday after Thanksgiving, everyone! I missed posting all last week due, in part, to me being away (sick) a couple of days, and a full day field trip to the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre. We also had Bear Aware, art with Tina, and Exploration Friday.
I shall endeavour to get back on track this week (as I check out the goal-setting the kids did while I was away!).
Math - We did some 60 seconds and 40 seconds drills (complements of ten), then practiced 3-digit and 2-digit addition. This second sheet is due tomorrow for review.
Reflective Journal - Today's entry was "What are you thankful for?"
After recess we reviewed the concepts of sympathy, empathy, and compassion, and had quite a discussion about them. Then Mrs. O'Neill, the Aboriginal Support Worker, came in to talk about Residential Schools. In class, I will start reading Fatty Legs, by Christie Jordan-Fenton & Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, a true story which took place in the Yukon.
After lunch, we had gym where we started basketball skills: dribbling, today.
The students did their agendas and some silent reading after that, before the fire drill. We had our second 'Fire Drill' this afternoon; all went well.
We ended our day with Book Exchange and silent reading.
Enjoy your evening.
REMINDERS:
Tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday are early dismissal days for students. This means that we work through lunch time and students are dismissed at 12:30. Parent-teacher interviews start at 1:00 pm for most teachers. Please make sure that you phone the office to make an appointment through Mrs. Echlin. *The government says that teachers must meet with parents officially at least twice a year so please make plans to meet with me:) *See the letter that went home today on bright orange paper.
