Reading...Give it a Shot 

BHS has enrolled in the Calgary Flames reading program.  Students will be bringing home tracking sheets to monitor how much they read each day.  Can you please sign the spot needed if they are reading at home?  

When your child reads 30 minutes they will earn one reading card. I have sent home a green folder with the sheet to track your minutes! Once they collect all 24, they can move onto the bonus card collection of Harvey the Hound doing funny things! To earn these new cards students must read for 60 minutes. The reading competition started Monday, January 18^th and ends March 26^th. Teachers will be tracking totals in order to hopefully win a virtual visit from the Calgary Flames. The more they read… the more chance we have of the Calgary Flames visiting our school virtually!   

Thank you for your support and work with encouraging your child to read!  

Go Flames Go!

Today in room 5:

Today was the 100th day of school!

We started out day by talking about what we learned in the last 100 days.

We used tens and ones blocks to represent 100 during calendar. 

Students also tracked their ability to read quietly to self for 100 seconds (we read for 11 minutes as well!)

As a class we listened to the read aloud- The night before the hundredth school by Natasha Wing.

In writing we did a project in which I took a picture of the students with an aging filter. I made everyone look 100 years old! We then wrote about what we would do 

As a class we also jumped, squatted, and stayed quiet for 100 seconds!

We counted to 100 by 1, 2, 5, and 10 using exercise as a support.

During math we used our names and a hundreds grid to create name and color patterns. Students wrote their name over and over on a hundreds grid and assigned a color to each letter. As they colored in their pattern on their names they began to see a larger pattern on the hundreds grid. When they are all finished we will be taping them all together to form a large hundreds day quilt!

We finished our day with a sharing circle before sending the students on their way.

Have a great day everyone!
