Back to School, Day 3!

 Hello, everyone!

We had a great morning on learning together!

In Math, we solved two esti-mysteries by working both together and then with our table partners. What is an esti-mystery? It is a picture - usually of small objects in jar - and a series of clues that guides you towards estimating the answer. Following and deciphering the clues helps us review and apply Math vocabulary and concepts in an interactive way.

Here is a look at one of the ones we completed in class today:

Please ask me to guide you through the steps to see if you arrive at the answer!

Next, after completing a short Math survey, we listened to Mme Careen read us another silly story.

This story prompted our question of the day: What is your least favourite food and/or what food would you never like to try? Our answers ranged from tomatoes, to liver, to insects! And, upon discussion, we learned that many of us had in fact already tried insects - and some of us didn't think they actually tasted that bad! :)

We ended our morning with a small block of time to organize our binders into sections. Mme Careen gave us some suggestions and we were able to get our subject dividers in order from there. We will continue to work on organization over the coming weeks as we move into our learning routines.

Thanks for another great morning, everyone! :)

AGENDA

1. Please send back forms (lunch, medical, parent/student questionnaire) as soon as possible.

2. Please continue sending in additional supplies (as outlined on the blue form sent home on Tuesday) as you are able. Many supplies can be kept in our classroom in personal supply boxes, but binders will have to make the daily journey from home to school. Thanks!

3. Please continue reviewing the importance of social distancing and the proper way to wear a mask at home. We are all doing very well so far with wearing our masks in class; maintaining enough distance between our classmates and other school friends in the halls and outside is definitely the more challenging part. We will continue to review and remind at school as we all adjust to our new norms. Thank you for your support!
