We started our day with our weekly spelling test. I tested the students on the social studies words we will be using throughout our local government unit starting next week!

Immediately following our spelling test we had a graphing quiz/check in that tested the students ability to read and interpret double bar graphs. We will mark this test next week and then send it home to be signed.

After math we had snack before diving into forest perspectives in science. Today we read how Indigenous people view how forests should be used. We had three different readings and a video that helped us to explore this. I then split the students into four groups to create a poster that will be used to teach the class about each of the perspectives on how forests should be used. 

We finished the day with a great game of fireball and clown doctor dodgeball in gym.

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend everyone!

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

Tis the season to be sick.

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. 

For more information, please visit https://www.calgaryfoodbank.com/wam/, thank you for the support on this!

Today in room 16:

We started our morning with some time to read and talk about our upcoming assembly. Room 16 will be hosting the assembly and we have chosen two student MC's. They will begin practicing next week!

Our next chunk of our morning was spent on laptops completing assignments in RoboGarden coding. We also used the last half hour of laptop time to complete assignments in Mathletics for Mathletics champions week. 

After snack and recess we had a short block to be introduced to our novel study: Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelson. Today we learned about the author, learned how he writes based off experience and then did a small activity where we created four story ideas based off our personal experience. 

Mr Wiens then took the students for music before we went off to gym to play some large games of volleyball with four people on each team. 

The last chunk of our morning was spent learning about different forest perspectives. The three perspectives we learned about were, environmentalist, tourist, and industrialist. Tomorrow we will look at the indigenous perspective and then create large charts in small groups to showcase what we learned!

Have a great day everyone.

Bonus words are: Municipal District, advisory committee and department of government.

Today in room 16:

We started our morning with having a chat about how the day went while I was away yesterday.

We then did some morning math as a warm up for our division and multiplication. There will be a basic facts test next week!

After math we had snack and some CNN10 before heading out to the playground for recess. 

When we came back inside I had the students fill in their planning sheets for their IRIS goals. These goals are an LA, Math, and health goal with strategies to meet the goals. We typed them into IRIS in the afternoon and we will showcase them during parent teacher interviews. 

After volleyball in gym we had some time to review the necessary concepts for our poetry quiz tomorrow! I informed the students about the test last week and we did a second review today. 

Below are the terms and poems to know!

We finished our morning with introducing the students to how humans interact with forests. We will cover this more in depth this week!

Bonus words are: Municipal District, advisory committee and department of government.

Today in room 16:

We started our morning with a big chunk of time to work on poetry projects. Today was the final class day to work on them! They are due Tuesday next week.

After poetry we had snack and recess before starting our remembrance day assembly. In the assembly we heard from Ms Austin who provided the acknowledgement of the land and some background information on Indigenous soldiers. We made a large wreath yesterday out of poppies that we brought to the learning commons. We also heard from Ms Anderson who read us the eleventh hour. The students all song The Highway of Heroes while Mr Weins played along on guitar. It was truly a beautiful remembrance day ceremony. 

In math the students completed a graphing assignment that had them analyzing and creating graphs. They then had to answer questions specific to the information in each of the graphs. 

After lunch we had an hour mathletics before a quick appreciation circle. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend!

See you next week.

Today in room 16:

We started our morning with some time for DEAR to slowly shake off the weekend cobwebs. After reading we moved straight into division. The questions today had us practicing multi digit division with decimals and a few area/perimeter questions. Below are some extra practice questions!

After math we had our Monday spelling test on our science words. I sent these home to be checked by parents and brought back to me.

We then had music and gym before moving into science and learning about how the growth of a tree connects to the nutrient cycle. 

In the afternoon we had recess and mindfulness before having another hour to work on poetry projects. These are due next Monday!

Below is the project explanation.

Hope everyone has a great evening!
