Today in room 16:

We started our morning with some DEAR before diving into volume in math.

To find the volume of a shape you simply multiply the length, width and height!

I would like to give a check in quiz to the students on Thursday to assess their level of understanding with geometry so far.

It will be a mix of area, perimeter and volume. 

After math we marked our asteroids and comets reading comprehension questions as a class. This carried us to gym and we played some basketball with teams rotating on and off.

For social today we learned about local government structure and how governments give people a voice. The last 30 minutes was spent working on our social cities. 

In the afternoon I started the students on a scavenger hunt using a website and some pre-created questions. We will continue this tomorrow!

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

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.
