Today in room 5:

It was another great day for the students in room 16!

We started our day with a game to practice learning everyones names and their favourite hobby.

I then took the class contract rules the students created and added a few of the school rules to form our official class contract. The contract was sent home today. Please sign, review and return it ASAP.

Room 16 did their first quiz in math today with a basic facts test. The test was marked, returned and will be sent home for parents to view hopefully tomorrow!

We also did the Edmonton Spelling Test this morning! This test consists of 50 spelling words which we marked and will also be sent home ASAP :)

Both tests are a starting point and make a great start for at home practice!

The grade sixes also worked together to untie a criss crossed string puzzle. This collaborative effort had the students working to straighten out a long string that they had criss crossed like a spider web. Just like life, we worked together to solve problems!

In the afternoon we had recess and mindfulness before starting our second day of engineering projects.

The students again worked in groups of 3 or 4 using marshmallows and pasta to build a structure that could hold up the weight of a textbook. In the end, many structures were squished but the students had a wonderful time working together!

Have a terrific Thursday everyone!
