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;

Bullying

The students of room 5 began their day with our morning question:

Have you ever been bullied or picked on?

Students first thought independently, then chatted with a partner, then shared with the whole class.

We spoke about the golden rule: 

Treat others how you want to be treated

-This will be posted on our classroom wall alongside our pink shirt day posters

We then transitioned into reading to self before music with Mr Wiens.

After recess on the playground we finished writing our observations from the previous days science lesson. 

This whole day lesson had us testing what happens when water is placed in a temperature below zero. Below are some photos from our experiment!

 

Water going into the fridge and freezer

2 hours later the water has frozen solid!

20 minutes after being out of the freezer

40 minutes out of the freezer

2 hours later! The ice has melted back into a liquid!

In gym today we played lacrosse. I broke the students into teams of four with one goalie. They practiced passing, shooting and some small games. We ended our class with some stretching mindfulness before heading back to class.

After gym we moved into math and practiced an additional strategy for solving subtraction questions.

Today we learned how to use a hundreds chart to subtract double digit questions from 1-100.

We talked about how subtracting 87-63 takes waaaaaay too long to count by 1's. So instead we subtract the 6 tens first! Then we subtract the ones!

Below are the questions we worked on today. Students were given extension questions if they could solve the medium and spicy questions.

We finished our day by creating pink shirt day posters that will be posted in our classroom alongside our golden rule!

Have a relaxing evening everyone :)
