Today in room 5:

After the regular ignite we transitioned into a quick calendar before starting Math.
I have revised the schedule so that we do math after our morning meeting each day.

During this time we did a great math talk in which the students had to balance a scale (equation) using the following numbers:

_ & _ = 5 & 3

Try it at home!

After gym and snack we moved into health in which we worked as a class to come up with the expected and unexpected behaviors we see in class. Students did a great job coming up with ideas for both behaviors we want to see and do not want to see in class.
Students then had to draw their ideas into a chart which we will use to cut and create a large poster for expected and unexpected behaviors in the classroom!

Students then had a chance to use some catch up time before lunch for all the projects we have on the go. This is being added into our daily routine as we always have things to finish :)

In the afternoon the students had mindfulness before a short independent reading block.

We finished up our day by learning about hot safety. We watched a video from Rover the Safety dog all about hot things in the Kitchen and household. Students then brainstormed hot objects and were tasked with creating a poster to inform students and adults about Heat safety. We will finish these tomorrow!

Have a great evening everyone!
