Today in room 16:

We started our morning with some DEAR and time to work on social cities. 

After our morning catch up we did a large math review for the test tomorrow. 

The test will be on:

- area and perimeter of triangles, rectangles, and L shapes.

- conversions from mm to cm, cm to mm, km to m, m to km.

-Volume of rectangular prisms.

After math we had a short block to read one chapter of Touching spirit bear and answer questions.

The students practiced caroling in music, and basketball in gym before starting a science lesson. 

Today in science we learned about different constellations and how they are viewed by different cultures. Students got together in groups of 5 and 6 to read through a text about different constellations then drew and explained what the constellations were about. 

In the afternoon we had some time to play board games during our indoor recess before we worked on social cities for 30 minutes. 

The last chunk of our day was spent doing a virtual assembly and singing along with the school to different Christmas songs! It was a fun way to end the day and spread some holiday cheer. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday 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.
