Yesterday:

The students had an absolute blast at Telus Spark! We were able to see almost the entire building.
We started in the energy and motion section exploring ways to create energy through all kinds of movement and activities.
We then moved into earth and sky before heading into the creative playground.
After a quick lunch we headed into the classroom where students did 6 different stations related to the magnet concepts. Once we had explored all the centers we moved back into the science center to the building things area. Students had such a great day and we were able to make it back to school just before the bell :)

Today!

We began our day with the usual ignite and building clay in my room.

After ignite we went to the library and read a holiday story. All books need to be returned next week! I will be sending home any late or missing notices to be found/paid next week.

Students then had gym with Mr Sadowsky before snack in the room.

Today I did a little assessment with the students to see how they are progressing with their letter sounds and blends. We have been using rhyme as a way to build on our word building! Students had to use a chart with all the letters and blends to and color letters that could be used with the _at end sound. Students used letters such as m and s to write mat or sat and even some blends to write fl_at flat.

We then transitioned into math and began to explore addition regrouping using two digit by 1 digit numbers. Remembering to carry that extra 10 is tricky in the beginning but with practice students will get it!

In the afternoon we began to explore the early settlers of the prairies. Today we watched a couple videos on Ukrainians and some traditions they celebrate.

We finished off the day with introducing the students to their new science project.
In connecting with magnet unit the students will be becoming toy makers!
Their task, to build a game or toy that uses a magnet.
Today we did some rough planning. Tomorrow students will be creating their full plan to start building next week! Parents, students will be needing to bring in some supplies to help them build with. Any sorts of cardboard, recycling and other home supplies will be used. I will also bring in some supplies as well!
So please bring in the supplies for Monday!

Have a great evening!
Mr Lancee
