Today in room 16:

We started our morning with some DEAR and catch up time. This carried us into Robocoding and laptop time. During laptop time students could do mathletics, prodigy or research for their science projects.

After Disney Thursday, snack and recess we had some time to read our novel study (Touching Spirit Bear). Today we read chapter 4 and answered the reading comprehension questions for chapter 3 and 4.

During phys ed the students were completing their fitness and skipping stations. For the last ten minutes we had a competition to see if the students could beat me in skipping for the longest. I unfortunately lost.....again.

After phys. ed. I gave the students an hour to work on their science projects. These projects are due next Friday! They are coming along and starting to look pretty good!

In the afternoon we had recess, mindfulness, and health taught by our guest speaker. Today we learned about how to go grocery shopping!

Looking forward to seeing everyone this evening for interviews.

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.

Today in room 16:

We started our morning with DEAR and a chance to talk about our weekend. We then moved into math and learned about the metric system. Measurement is our next unit and we will start with conversions then move into measuring area, perimeter and volume. 

After math we had Marvel Monday and snack before heading out to the playground for recess. 

Upon returning inside we started our novel study: Touching Spirit Bear. 

Today we got to know the book by looking at the cover, making predictions and finding the author and when it was copyrighted. 

We then took a break to head off to gym to do fitness activities. When we returned we started reading chapter 1. In this chapter we met Cole, learned that he is going to take part in a circle justice, and may go to jail for seriously injuring another student. The book can be found on the link at the top of the page so you can read along if you miss a day! After chapter 1 we also answered the following questions below:

Chapters 1- Chapters 1-2, pp. 3 2, pp. 3 2, pp. 3-25 

1. How long will Cole be in Southeast Alaska? 

2. What kind of Native American is Garvey? 

3. How old is Cole? 

4. Why is Cole in trouble this time? 

5. In the past, how did Cole act when he got in trouble? 

6. What is Cole’s plan to avoid jail? 

We also had a short social lesson today introducing the students to local government. Today we learned that governments provide services to the people in cities and towns. Tomorrow we will learn how!

The afternoon was spent learning about the end of unit science project. This can be done in partners or solo! 

The rubric and powerpoint can be found below.

Have a wonderful Monday and weekend everyone!

Please make sure you eat well, drink water and get some sleep!

Tis the season to be sick.
