Care for Others and Place

Good afternoon!

Students noticed that all our books had been moved out of the classroom and put away. Unfortunately, the books we have bought for our classrooms have been mistreated by students and are quite damaged (ripped pages, pages falling out, drawing in books, etc.). We spoke to the students about this and told them that if it kept happening, the books would be taken away. Here we are. The books may be returned, but in the interim, only library books are allowed to be read during class time.

This resulted in our morning activity, where students wrote about what care for place and care for others looks like both in and out of the school community.

When we came back from gym, we worked further discussed kindness in preparation for Pink Shirt Day which we celebrate on Wednesday to bring awareness to anti-bullying.

After recess, Ms. Zimmermann's class did a Self-Assessment surrounding their job research in Social Studies while Mr. Fisher's class went to music. When we all came together before lunch, we introduced the new spelling words for the week. Check out the lists below:

Group 1:

Group 2:

After lunch, we gathered for some silent reading before spending the next hour on our Math Review/Test which was all about 2D and 3D Shapes!
