See you tomorrow!
A great morning started off with a neat social presentation from Gomati on India. Gomati lived in India and shared her experiences with us. She brought in samples of the spices and food they eat there, some examples of their language, clothing they wear, and discussed how our cultures and the same and different! Such a great chance to learn authentically! Daily math today was on our computers! We're signed up with Splash Math (www.splashmath.com) where we can practice all of our skills. It is very similar to Raz-Kids in that I can assign lessons and see their accuracy and progress. YOU can also have them sign in at home where they can practice. The sign in is the same as their Wild Rose username and password (BUT if their password is only 3 letters they will need to add the number 1 at the end. Eg. ice becomes ice1). I've only put in the current units but will add units as we get into them. It is free right now and I hope to be able to use it for the year. Here are some of the sample questions we did today on place value, adding, subtracting, fact families, skip counting, comparing/ordering numbers, word problems, and fractions! A fun and interactive site that had the kids really engaged! Next we completed our letters to B for the review words this week. Benoit asked them to share letters about stuffed animals or pets they have at home and like to "snuggle". Students had a lot of fun sharing their favorite stuffed animal adventures while incorporating their words! Then onto our Dojo Rock stories. You've probably seen their photos they were taking today and posting to their personal dojo stories. They will use these images in the writing of their dojo adventure. Independently they went around the school and solicited helpers/actors to help create their images. Good work everyone! In from recess and onto our reading. It's great to lounge around and be comfy when curled up with a good book. Due to the structural issues at the moment, we don't have much of a gym (short term we believe!) so we bundled up for some outside fresh air. We will keep you posted as information becomes available on our school's plans to accommodate the moved classes and the (hopefully) minimal impact it will have on us! See you tomorrow!

Every winter, at least one septillion (that’s 1 followed by 24 zeros) snow crystals fall from the sky

When it is Winter in the Southern Hemisphere, it is Summer in the Northern Hemisphere 😊

80% of all the fresh water on earth is frozen as ice or snow. This accounts for 12% of the earth's surface . And there used to be way more then there is now.
