Well, we made it through our first 5 day week of school! Yay!
On Monday, we began our Summer Sharing. We first brainstormed what is important during presentations . . . for both the speaker and the audience. This activity has been an awesome way to get to know one another better, as well as great public speaking practice! It sounds like everyone really enjoyed the summer!
Tuesday was "International Dot Day" and we did some neat Dot Day activities. We determined that it would take our class just over 3 hours to create one million dots! The students also explored with a neat app to make their dots come to life!
On Wednesday, Room 31 students were treated to "Smile Cookies" from Tim Hortons in support of the Children's Hospital. It was a delicious treat! We also had our first library class and the students were eager to sign out books.
On Thursday we started our science unit. The Grade 4s are learning about animal habitats and the Grade 5s will study weather.
Today, we did a super fun team building activity. The cheers of success were awesome to hear during the morning! We also had our 2nd fire drill in 2 days!
