Morning Routine

Math Centres

Recess

Daily 5 – The students rotated through Read to Self, Read to Someone, Word Work, and Work on Writing.

Lunch

Talking Circle – Our talking circle topic today was promises.

Genius Hour – Using the topics students identified as interests during last week’s Genius Hour, the students figured out how they could plan a project. As we will be working on this Genius Hour project for the next 8 weeks, the students realized that their project not only needs to include researching a topic, but also learning a new skill, building/creating something, or coming up with a solution for a problem related to their topic.

Recess

Social – We talked about First Nations peoples’ relationship to the land and how they tried to use all parts of plants and animals so as to not be wasteful. We began to look at treaties and the reasons that both parties involved were interested in making treaties. We will be learning more about treaties tomorrow.

 

**Thank you to all families who were able to make it to Muffins & Books this morning. From what I hear, it was a great success!

***I will be sending home information regarding November 3-way conferences tomorrow.
