Today:

We began our day with the usual ignite. I had the students in my room building with clay!

After our morning meeting we wrote our new spelling words and did work work stations.

In gym we had holiday themed games:
1. Don't leave your decorations in my backyard
2. Snowball fight (Dodgeballs)

After our snack I gave the students some time to free write on any topic of their choice! It has become a Monday favourite!

We finished off our morning with math doing some basic facts, and addition without regrouping.
We did an assessment today that I will be continuing tomorrow to see where students knowledge is with this concept.

In the afternoon the students did a science experiment in which we tried to prove the existence of a magnetic field. Using magnets and iron filings we discovered how magnets will interact when placed to the iron filings! This experiment helped the students see how magnetic fields cannot but seen but definitely exist!

Hope everyone stays warm!
Eat your veggies, drink lots of water, and go to bed early!
Tis the season to get the sniffles!
