Today we began our morning with Mr. Hutton reading the Acknowledgment of the Land to the school. We also learned about why we celebrate and why it's important. Our hidden words were "National Aboriginal Day" and you can learn more about it by visiting the Government of Canada website here.
We also got a chance to go visit our grade 1 friends that did investigative research around the New Brighton Pond. Looking through the lense of an "environmentalist" these young students told us: 1) it is important to walk quietly to not scare wildlife, 2) to ensure pets like dogs are leashed, 3) to take care of the natural environment by not littering. Good work grade 1! In math, students finished an activity that had them adding decimals. They found the individual bill for each of their friend's orders and the total bill for the three or four friends that visited their restaurant. These were sent home for parents to look at. As well, we finished our superhero writing and Mrs. Otterson is in the process of putting it into a book to be shared with the class. Students worked hard through the process of developing their characters, describing their setting, coming up with a reasonable problem and then solving that problem. After lunch we continued to work on research around the concepts of light and shadow as we build a board game to play next week. The gym was great fun! Students played "Crab Soccer" where they had to sit on a scooter and not using any hands to move along, play a game of soccer five on five. Even Mrs. Otterson and Miss Nanavaty got in on the action. Reminders: June 26 - Sports Day June 28 - Last Day of School (early dismissal)
