French

Math – The students worked on a patterning booklet.

Recess

Daily 5 – We signed our letter to Mo Willems and talked about how to address an envelope. The students wrote their own letters for Work on Writing and did one round of Read to Self.

Lunch

Talking Circle – We shared if we speak (or are learning to speak) any languages other than English at home. We considered the benefits of speaking multiple languages (such as communication while travelling, job opportunities, being able to speak to extended family, etc.)

Genius Hour – We learned about mindful seeing and practiced while observing some colour mixing experiments. We watched a video about what Genius Hour is, and began brainstorming ideas for our own Genius Hour projects.

Recess

Social – We began sharing our posters that we created about different jobs in the community. Students that did not have the opportunity to go today, will present tomorrow.

Quiet Time – Leica read a Chinese book to the class.

***”Muffins & Books” is on Wednesday, October 19th. Please return forms by Friday if you plan to attend.
