Happy happy happy last day of school before winter break! 

Today in room 5!

As you know, today was pajama day! It was nice to be able to wear our comfy clothes and do some fun activities before saying goodbye for a few weeks.

We began our day with opening the presents I bought for each student! Everyone was ecstatic to receive there present bags with their name and a few things inside. Students also received cards from their grade 6 buddies that were hand made!

Room 5 went off to gym with Mr Sadowsky before coming back to class for a quick morning meeting and snack. 

After recess on the compound we moved into some math time. Today the students did some holiday math with combining tens and ones written in expanded form. 20+3=23. Then had to color the hats either red or green depending on whether they were greater or less then 50! The bonus activity was an addition color by number of a math elf. 

After lunch we finished working on our snowmen at night art using pastels the effects of smudging, light and dark and chalk pastels. This kind of activity takes patience but is easily fixed by re-smudging the chalk pastels. 

The final products will be sent home in the new year!

We finished off our day by watching The Grinch! We talked about how the Grinch learns about generosity from his experience with the Whos. Generosity was our pillar of the month so it fit perfectly into the end of our day!

I hope everyone has a wonderful break! Keep safe, eat lots, and enjoy time with loved ones.

See you all in the new year!
