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:

The students in room 5 began their day with some listening to reading time on Razkids. 

We then moved into our morning calendar and some phonics practice with the blends bl, cl, fl, sh, th, ch, gl, and cl.

After our Netflix Friday during snack we moved into some writing. For writing today we did reflections on our insulation devices from the yesterday! We tested the devices over the morning using ice (Frosty) and boiling water (Karen). Students were aiming to double the time it takes to cool water from boiling to 20*C or an ice cube completely melting. Students were very successful after building their insulators! Today we reflected on what went well and what they would change next time.

Students then went off to gym with Mr Sadowsky to compete in the Beddington Olympics.

When we returned I had some new math stations for enjoy while I worked with small groups of students. The stations were: Subtraction war, domino war, dots and boxes and race to 100.

We finished off our day with a sharing circle before heading home! I updated everyones Razkids today so make sure you catch up on some reading over the weekend.

Have a great weekend!
