Today in room 16:
We started our morning with DEAR before moving into some math.
Today in math we learned about perimeter and how perimeter is distance around an object. We then practiced finding perimeter of simple polygons and some irregular shapes.
Below is a video from Math antics to practice. Perimeter
After math, snack and recess we continued our exploration of the spirit bear novel.
Today we read chapter 5, answered 5 reading comprehension questions and researched some vocabulary from the first 5 chapters.
If you were away today here is a digital version of the book.

I then gave the students an additional hour to work on their science projects. They are starting to come together! They are due this Friday so students should be starting to do their research tomorrow or Wednesday to meet the deadline.
In the afternoon we had a guest speaker from the Calgary stampeders who came to talk to us about internet safety and cyber bullying. The students loved hearing from the team and different ways to protect yourself from cyber bullying.
Go stamps go!

Mayor's Food Drive + Loonies for Lunches
With the holiday season soon approaching it's important to care for others and give back to those who are less fortunate than us. This holiday season, Beddington Heights School will be a part of 2 programs that the city of Calgary runs for those less fortunate.
The first program is Loonies for Lunches. Loonies for Lunches would bring students together to collect loonies to donate to the food bank. Each school and/or classroom would create a donation box to collect the loonies and perhaps have some healthy competition to see which class could raise the most. The loonies would then be used by the Food Bank to purchase food for our Weekends and More program that makes sure kids get the nutritious food they need on the weekends to stay healthy and learning.
The Mayor's Food Drive is where we collect non-perishable items, i.e. can goods, sealed boxed items, for Calgary's Food Bank. Both programs start this Monday to Dec 14th.
