Day 2

Language - Today we finished up our birthday cards just in time for our first birthday of the year tomorrow! Then we moved on to completing an all about me activity. We talked about being members of a community and how we must all get a long and the best way to start with this is by getting to know each other. Each student filled in an all about me flag (you can find them located on our UOI board in the classroom)







Math - Today students completed their patterning of place value pre-assessment. Please do not panic at the word pre-assessment! This was not a test! It was just a way for me to assess their prior knowledge in the topic and where we need to go!

Agenda 
- raz kids - login and password taped into agenda
- Wear house spirit colours tomorrow
- welcome bbq

Gym

French - Today we had a very important house game of freeze dance!!!! Some of our friends participated!



UOI - We talked about what it means to be a member of a community and how all of us impact our communities. We talked about the importance of our classroom community and of the whole school community.  We talked about how rules govern communities especially our classroom and how they are important to keep us safe and keep order. We talked about differences and how they are important among the members of a community in order to make change and help each other.

Daily Five - in table groups students brainstormed about the attitude of curiosity. They used markers and chart paper to write their ideas. They then presented them to the class.
Next we learned about the learner profile of thinker. Students wrote what their definition of Inquirer was and what they can do to be one. They then drew a picture.

Day 1

Welcome Everyone!!!!

We had a great and very busy first day!!

We started our day by playing a Guess Who game to get to know each other.  Students filled in questions and then I read them aloud and we had to guess who we thought it was. If the guess was right students won a house point!



Next we went over where our tools and items were located in the classroom and the school.

Then we had music with Mr. Flower
