This morning we continued our exploration of the "Winter Count". Students watched a video that described the purpose of a winter count and then afterwards made a master list of all the things they think they now understand about this type of First Nations storytelling. Students set up another page in their visual journal where a key will be created for all their winter count symbols (I CAN understand the purpose and importance of a winter count). We also continue multiplication exploration using a variety of word problems. Today students were presented with three different problems. They did not need to complete them in order and they offered multiple entry points. They were not required to finish them today and we will continue to look at them tomorrow. Mrs. Otterson was away in the afternoon so there was a guest teacher to work through guided reading and science.
We also still have quite a few items in the lost and found after Winter Activity Day. Please see the attached photos and take a look if anything looks familiar. Reminders: Jan 20 ~ Scholastic Book Order Due (cheques only please) Jan 23 ~ Library Mobile Feb 3 ~ PD Day Feb 16-17 ~ Teachers Convention Feb 20 ~ Family Day Feb 23 ~ Fun Lunch
