Thursday December 2nd, 2021

 Happy Thursday December 2nd, 2021!

As a class we decided we are going to start doing fun Fridays. This means we will choose a theme for every Friday (such as anime, specific colour, hats) that we will vote on each week. We are doing this as a way to further strengthen our class community and have a laugh each Friday.

December Spirit Day is the last day of school this term, Friday Dec 17th, and it will be Festive Holiday themed.  That could mean, ugly holiday sweaters, dress as Santa or his elves or his reindeer or a snowmen/women, or even a lit-up holiday tree! Basically, anything to get into that holiday cheer!  

Reminders:

1.  Poetry projects were due Tuesday Nov 16
2. Spelling Test tomorrow!
3. Trees and forests project due MONDAY Dec 6. I am giving students the weekend to work on them.
4. December Spirit Day Friday December 17th -Holiday themed
5. Science test next Thursday Dec. 9 I will give out a review tomorrow.
6. Mayor's food bank --- BRING IN ANY CANNED OR DRIED GOODS for the less fortunate.

7. Loonies for Lunch - same as above but bring in a loonie to help homeless people for their lunches

Today in room 16:

We started our morning with DEAR before an hour of laptops. During this hour we did 30 minutes of coding and then 30 minutes of Mathletics.

The next hour we moved into math. Today's focus...the perimeter and area of L shapes. These take several steps to compute so I walked the students through a problem by myself doing a question, then doing one as a class, then giving them time to work on their questions. We will continue this tomorrow!

After math we had an hour to work on science projects. Tomorrow is the last day we will be working on the projects. These are due Monday!

After science the students had gym before lunch.

The last hour of the day was spent doing a health lesson with an expert learning about table manners and proper etiquette.

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 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.
