Reminders:
Math Night is Thursday, Feb 6th, 6-8pm
No school this Friday
Today in room 5:
We began our day with the morning meeting before doing our reflection for our DL board. The students responded to three questions:
1. What numbers can you skip count by?
2. How can you prove your abilities?
3. Where in the world do we use skip counting
After reflecting on our skip counting we moved into gym for mission impossible!
The class has been learning about the importance of calming and self regulation all week. We have created a calming corner to support kids when they are angry, feeling silly or sad. This goes along with teaching strategies for calming such as:
Ninja breaths, tracing your fingers and taking a 5 minute break.
Below are the strategies we are practicing daily.
Try them at home!
Students did a great job advancing their if you give a cat a cupcake stories today! We are working to write the stories and finish them by next week so they can be hung up and shown to parents.
During math the students used coins to practice skip counting. They were each given a specific number of nickels or dimes and asked to find out how many cents they had in each set of coins.
Try these below at home!
4 nickels
6 dimes
10 nickels
4 dimes
2 nickels +3 Dimes
In the afternoon the students created and packed their suitcases so that we could fly on a plane to iqaluit! I printed out tickets for each student before they grabbed their suitcases and sat in rows in front of the smart board. We watched a video where a plane took off and flew over Canada to Iqaluit where it landed on the runway. Students were ecstatic to see the sights and experience the simulation of a plane flight to our next Social unit!
Hope everyone has a great day!
