We started the week with a presentation on the proper way to recycle. We have revamped our recycling program at Amherstview and all the classes have new bins. Each student is responsible for recycling properly within the class.
Monday afternoon was a break from routine when M. Choquette's entire class joined us for the last 100 minutes of the day. His wife was in labour and he needed to leave in a hurry. The class enjoyed showing his students how to play Prodigy. Many of them went home and signed up that evening as they enjoyed playing it so much.
In Language, we read "La sorcière Mirador" for our shared reading. We continued our Reading and Writing Daily 5 centres. I also began doing GB+ Reading Assessments with the class.
In Math, we continued to look at 2-D shapes. The students practised using Miras and completing symmetrical drawings using grids.
In Science, the students completed the write-ups about their solid and stable structures. They were able to see their projects on the blog in order to draw and describe them since they had already taken them home. It was great review of "schémas" which they had learned in writing back in the fall.
In Social Studies, the students continued to learn about Ontario. We had a great discussion about resources and the connection between provinces, countries, and continents based on climate and availability of resources.
We finished the week with the school Dance-a-thon. Bellica won a Tim Hortons gift card in a draw during the dance. Our class did not win any of the big prizes for collecting the most money but we definitely helped contribute to the great total that the school council collected of around $3600. Way to go, Amherstview! The students danced to several songs, would take a scheduled break by watching a video, then repeat.
Have a great weekend!
