Dear families of room 18:
A reminder that our Beddington Loves Reading Day is tomorrow! Your child is welcome to dress up as their favourite book character for the day and will be participating in three very short DEAR periods (Drop Everything And Read), as well as a few activities aimed at fostering a love of reading!
Today we began our Classroom Chemistry unit by preparing our scientific process. We will be testing mixing liquids to see how they dissolve with each other tomorrow and students are all ready because of the foot work we did today.
In math students reviewed the traditional algorithm for division one last time, and many had wonderful breakthroughs as they worked with a partner. I reminded them that it is not about which strategy they choose to use, so long as they feel confident they have a strategy that works for them.
We had a health lesson today which identified triggers that cause us to move through the different zones of emotions and tools or strategies we can use that work for us. This was meant to be an individual lesson with students examining which strategies work specifically for them and not the person they sit next to.
In Language Arts, students were given time to complete their procedural writing. Anyone who did not complete their writing was told to bring it home for homework, and if it was not completed for homework the expectation would be that students complete it with me over lunch.
Have a great evening!
