Today in room 5:

We began our day with some time to read to self using our book boxes, library books and levelled books.

During our morning meeting we watched a video to help us understand empathy. The video came from class dojo. The story tells us about Mojo, who is a little monster that gets very angry during his play he is putting on. He upsets another monster and has difficulty understanding what he did wrong. The students helped mojo to recognize his feelings, the other monsters feeling and better understand how he could have helped the situation.

After our health lesson we moved into writing. During this writing block we worked on the problem of our critter comics. The problem had to connect to the fact that animal was two different creatures. For example, Mr Lancee's Duck Giraffe wants to fit in with the ducks but he is too tall swim in the pond and too heavy to fly. Up next we will writing about two events that lead to the problem getting solved. 

When we finished snack and recess we moved into math. Today we practiced our graphing and problems related to the data skills. Students graphed the number of pets students owned and different animals found in the zoo. They then had to answer questions such as, "Which animal did the students own most?" "How many more hippos than bears were in the zoo?".

After lunch we were able to read to a partner using our favourite books!

For gym we were outside playing different tag, and soccer games. It was blistering hot outside today!

After gym we enjoyed some mindfulness colouring before comparing homes of the first settlers on the prairie. We compared them to our own homes and homes found in Iqaluit.

When we finished recess we had some time to catch up on some of the work from the day. Students worked on their problems for their comics, their graphing from the morning, desk cleaning and enjoyed some relaxing lego if everything was finished.

Have a great evening everyone :)

Mr Lancee
