Another week has flown by in room 21! Here is what we have been working on.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In Language Arts, we have continued working on writing our own stories. Students have been organizing their ideas and stories so that we can work on our final copies next week!
In math, we continued working on measurement. We focused began learning about height and width this week and then moved into measuring monsters. We even created our very own measurement monsters! The kids were very excited to colour and name their measurement monsters once we finished.
In Social, we started learning about the different animals on the Blackfoot Medicine wheel: an eagle, a buffalo, a bear and a wolf. We discussed what these animals represent and asked students to pick which animal they felt represented them the best. Students were eager to share their ideas on what animals they are!
We managed to fit some art in this week as well. We worked on making prints of the animals the students picked. The students enjoyed being able to add their own backgrounds! I love how they turned out.
Gymnastics continued into this week, and the students began running through different stations. Students worked on various movements, balancing, climbing and much more! I think their favourite is definitely the crash mats!
.
It was a very busy week for us but it was full of fun, hands-on activities! Tuesday, April 25th, is my last day with Room 21 and I am sad to say goodbye (for now!). But I have had such a wonderful time with the students and Mrs. Vanderwel and will always remember my experience here!
---------------------------------------------------
- GYMNASTICS has started!! Students are required to wear comfortable, properly fitting clothes (No jeans or skirts/dresses or hoodies) as these items can get caught on equipment posing a safety hazard. They are also not able to wear any jewelry and all long hair must be tied back to prevent injury. Students should wear sweatpants/stretchy pants to school each day. We do not have time to change clothes before and after gym so they must come properly dressed in the morning. Thank you for your support of this program!
- RAZ-KIDS (NEW!) : EMJ has purchased a membership to the Raz-Kids website. This is an online reading program with levelled books that your child can practice reading with at home as another option to the Home Reading books that they bring home. Your child had a chance to practice using this site with their Buddies. They have brought home their login information so that they can access the site from home.
