Pointillism

Good afternoon,

We had a guest teacher in for Ms. Binks today.

We started our day with morning activity. We played hangman or word scramble with a partner. After that we played bingo with some of our spelling words, congratulations to our winners.

We had our spelling test today, the results will come home on Monday as they were not able to be marked in time.

After gym we read from our novel, The One and Only Ivan. We learned about a new character today, named Bob. He's a stray dog who lives near the mall. We learned about what a stray dog is and talked about animal shelters.

Following recess room 8 had music and room 7 did ketchup.

We started our afternoon with a quick read. After reading we did social studies. We did a self assessment of the map we made of our bedroom. We had a check list of the things we needed and wrote about what we did well. We gave ourselves a mark and explained why.

We had another fire drill today! It was a pre scheduled fire drill. The students did well exciting the school. We are working on staying quiet outside.

To finish off our day we did art. We learned an art technique called Pointillism. In pointillism you make tiny dots or lines to fill up a space. The students used colours that were in a similar palette. They layered them over top of each other to create texture.

Movember is still going. You can still bring in donations. Reminder, we are voting for the WORST mustache.

We are still doing our We Scare Hunger drive. You can bring in non perishable food items until the end of the month.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
